I agree with David, too. I would not advocate, for example, Mozart in a concert pitch score. What ruffles my feathers is the suggestion implied by more than one person in this discussion that a preference for concert pitch is ipso facto an admission of inferior aural/reading skills. That is a complete non sequitur. In certain styles of music, concert pitch is much clearer. Certainly the composers thought and (in some cases) continue to think so.
BTW, Full Disclosure: I personally have flip-flopped on this issue to a large degree, but what was that quote about "a foolish consistency..."?
