I don't think all violin players and piano players play a lot of notes... but I do agree with you in that it's all about the balance of not a lot and then a lot of notes. With music I'd say the ultimate goal is to get a yin and yang effect in your playing. That's mine at least dynamic and speed wise

i agree , but sometimes it is not a matter of the number of notes but how you play them, in a violin solo or piano solo musicians play a lot of notes and nobody says nothing, is the kind of instrument you play.

Notice how the best parts are when McLaughlin plays fewer notes.

Joe, you must be living in the U.S. Here in Europe there's a station out of France called Mezzo, they play many pieces at this level of musicianship. No doubt this piece as played here is orgasmic if you will.
