RE: [F_minor] Re: Zenph 55 G'bergs released! (Brad Lehman)

["Chester Singh" <k_dawg71@hotmail.com>]

One question that I keep asking myself, is whether this new technology can 
actually reproduce the exact colours that someone like Glenn Gould could 
produce. I have come to doubt that it can. I doubt it because I myself am 
bent on becoming a concert pianist, and so I know how hard it can be to 
utilize the exact touch that you need for a particular. Is this new 
technology really up to producing all the different touches that a live 
pianist can? Or that Glenn Gould could? I doubt it, but maybe I'm wrong to 
do so. Technology remains a machine, and I doubt that a machine can 
reproduce the different subtelties that are necessary in order for the piano 
to be played well.
Am I right to doubt?
