[F_minor] Gould Goldberg as played on Pan Flute?

[paul wiener <pwiener@ms.cc.sunysb.edu>]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't Zenph's real accomplishment the 
recording - or engineering - of the Gould 1955 Goldberg as a 
high-tech MIDI file?   For its release the file was then played back 
and re-recorded on a high-tech computerized  Yamaha piano. An 
excellent beginning, but only a beginning, musically speaking.

Why then hasn't Zenph released the MIDI file as well as its 
recording?  Anyone with a synthesizer and a computer could then make 
his own sonic adaptations of Gould.  For a low-tech re-re-recording, 
couldn't someone  copy the Zenph CD onto a computer and have it 
translated into a MIDI file, using simple software programs.

Couldn't the file be played back on any number of "computerized" 
(synthesized) instruments, using the same encoded performance 
dynamics Gould used?  The Yamaha is only one kind of instrument.  So 
is a saxophone.

With this technology we could have Gould's Goldberg performed on the 
harpsichord, the Hammond B-3 organ, a 12-string guitar,a xylophone, 
an accordion, a shamisen or sitar!
