"Rhapsody in Blue" Roll With Jazz Orchestra
By Kip Williams

[ Ref. Paul Johnson in 200107 MMDigest

Thanks for the reply, Mr. Johnson.  I understand that this is what
they said they did, but my objection is that it sounds to me as if
they took out too many notes.

By explicitly setting out to remove "all orchestral notes," rather
than explicitly setting out to _leave in_ "all solo piano notes,"
they may have cheerfully deleted notes that were played by both.

As I say, I'd rather have more than fewer, especially when it makes
the piano sound thin.
