There are a lot of people who say that piano is the most versatile instrument, and they’re right about that on a superficial level.
Actually the piano is one the least versatile instruments. You get control of which key you press, a chosen velocity and the sustain pedal. A piano performance can be midi recorded using these three values and reproduced in an extremely high level of detail. If you try to do the same with a truly versatile instrument like for example the violin you will find that it is impossible. Not difficult, impossible.

I’m confused. Isn’t it evident from the rest of my comment that I agree with you?
(On an unrelated note: I think my upvote button has vanished. Otherwise I would have clicked it for your post!)
Ah, sorry to confuse you. Yes it is obvious that you agree. I was just expanding on the point :)

Thank you for the information! My brain does something weird when I see the word “actually,” so I don’t think I was charitable when I read your post.
No problem :)
