i'm not arguing about the entertainment value, i'm arguing about the
capabilities in a live performance by a proficient musician.

different instruments offer different limits to proficiency, especially when
it comes to things that i value like spontaneity and the "moment of
execution" ... i would love to hear your comments about this. i have not
received a single contradicition (rather a series of comments on differing
topics) and look forward to engaging in interesting conversation. read
through my previous emails if you would like to argue about this.
