For me, it brings the music even more to life. I suspect that musicians are nearly unable to listen to music without being aware what each instrument plays individually and how they fit together. We lose the ability to listen to it as a whole, in the sense of two lines become one line. "The whole" in the sense of all instruments become one instrument still works. I've heard music from Bach, played by a few musicians, that I like, but I heard that some musicians supposedly should play Bach by very free interpretations on very special instruments. _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
