Well, I've learned something. Thank you, Nancy and Kelly.
I suppose this raises the issue of writing to take advantage of a
particular performer's skills or a particular instance of instruments.
What will happen to your music if only one performer or one set of
individual instruments can play the composition in a pleasing manner?
Should you not write it?
In a way (I realize this is stretching the point a bit), Mozart wrote
for a particular performer with (at that time) a nearly unique
instrument.
You could make the same speculations about many electronic pieces which
rely on particular sound samples.
Cheers,
Bill
