But once you plunk a note on a piano, that’s it. It’s out there. You live with the sound you produced, or you quickly try to correct it by plunking a different note.
With the pedals you have some influence on the tone after pushing the key. But I think, when you are busy to properly pronounce a five-voice fugue properly on the piano the last thing you worry about is what you could do in addition to all these tones that you have just created.
