I really don't think this works for more highly chromatic music. If I play every chromatic pitch on the piano simultaneously (with the aid of a 2x4, natch), where's the discernible tonal center?
With a 2x4, shouldn't that be a home-repair-center rather than a tonal-center?
And it would only fit many people's concept of "music" after they had stopped by the tonic-center and downed a few gin-and-tonics.
Or, viewed in a different light, if you really did it to include all 88 notes, then the tonal center would clearly be E, that being the tone in the center of the keyboard, assuming you aren't using one of those pianos with the left-hand extension which adds extra notes below the standard 88-key piano keyboard.
And is playing the entire keyboard at once truly chromatic or would it just be simply polytonal?
And if this were done in the middle of a forest next to the proverbial tree which had fallen over, would anybody notice?
