You might be still a student, but that was a fantastic answer!
I hope you can find more. Perhaps you can explain this: the feeling I get in my dry, sound absorbing room is that when I pass mezzo-forte, I can still blow much more pressure and air volume into the reed, but the reed essentially stops increasing in output...... it's a little like pushing against a rubber o-ring on a metal shaft: the extra force will not move the ring any more quickly.
However, in the concert hall and in the small warehouse, I did not get that feeling. In other words, when I passed mf, I got the impression that the crescendo continued untill I was not able to give any more.
Same thing for the pianissimi, I had no feeling of amplified sound.... but I suppose it's possible that the reverberated sound was faint enough that I would not notice the amplification.
If you can find more info. be it academic, professional or just your experience, that would prove most encouraging!
Thanks again!
