Technology determines music

[Travis Hartnett <hartne.t@apple.com>]

All music adapts to the technology used to produce it.

If the technology has been around long enough, people may not even perceive
these "limitations"--the piano, for example, doesn't let you bend notes or
add vibrato.  No one goes to a pianist and asks them to do this, nor or is
usually viewed as a "limitation", it's "just how pianos work".
