How does solo piano help you evaluate audio gear?



A pianist friend just recommended this article and pianist to me, knowing that I'm presently doing a speaker shoot-out. My question to you all is this:

How important is solo piano recordings to your evaluation of audio equipment -- in relation to, say, orchestra, bass, voice, etc.? What, specifically, does piano reveal exceptionally well, to your ears?

Here's the article:

Maybe because pianos are the foundation of musical instruments in general. The rich tonality of the piano evokes incomparable pleasure for both musicians and listener alike. So what does piano reveals exceptionally well to my ears?

- musical scale, unlike any other instruments offering an incredible, unparalleled range.

- higher and lower scale in frequency range than any other instrument.

- both treble and bass clef while most other instruments reveals only one or the other.

Good luck and hope you find your forever speakers, I know I have :-)
