I enjoyed reading your comments tremedously. I wish I could verbalize these
things half as effectively as you do. (That on top of your abilities and
achievments as a clarinettist!)

Simply true.
<<So, even if we are doing a diminuendo,
and giving therefore less energy to the note or phrase we are playing,
we are more clearly perceived than if we stayed at the same dynamic.>>
Then why is it sooooo annoying when someone holds on to a long, too loud note
drowning out, say an eighth note/quaver passage of more importance? According
to this theory, it wouldn't be noticed as much as a gradual diminuendo would
be...This must be the exception which proves the rule?...
