Well, I feel like eating crow after my comments a couple of days ago 
about how sampled pianos aren't all that great. The B\ufffdsendorfers are 
pretty awesome, and the ambient Yamaha is very good. Really good 
performance too, by the way.

My only question about the B\ufffdsendorfers is whether the loud dynamics 
are lumpy or the others are compressed. For example the Gb on top of 
the treble cleff a few seconds in sticks out more than on the other 
recordings (even though the overall balance on the B\ufffds is much better 
- and I bet you used it when you sequenced the piece, right?).

But it wouldn't occur to anyone that they're hearing a sampled piano.

Just out of interest, what does this (from your license agreement) mean?

"You may not use these recorded samples in a non-melodic, solo-ed 
context in a musical recording or music library."

In other words, what is a non-melodic, solo-ed context? Not trying to 
start fights, just curious...
