> I ran this by a Vienna-based pianist/composer (initials W.A.M) and Wolfie was appalled by the notion of distortion; perhaps Mr. Leeson (a contemporary, I believe) could weigh in on this

I'm not so sure. Mozart was so far ahead of his time, rumor has it that
in the weeks before his death, he was overheard whistling "I Can't Get
No Satisfaction".

Others have commented about how ironic it is that we spent untold man
years of research eliminating distortion from our amplifiers, only to
have the rock & roll industry insist on adding it back in intentionally.
