Please, Tim, for me as well as the other pianists and recording 
engineers out there--don't forget the desolation of Tchaikovsky, or of 
Chopin, or the sweetness of Debussy, or the sublime madness and pensive 
hush of Satie, or the mathematical intellectual struggles of Bach and 
Mozart.

I agree with you, Tim, but you mustn't forget the ears for images.  Or, 
perhaps most explicitly, the scentmakers.  Scent is the most 
image-evoking sense.  And food, and clothes as well.  

But music.  Music.

Brendan
