You could go further than recording all 88 notes. A soft note has a
different timbre, attack, and decay from a loud note. For such a
library to be really valuable, you would need to have different
attacks at different volume levels.

At least you don't have to worry about legato, since a piano can't
play true legato like a violin or French Horn. A non-accented attack
would do well for legato.

Cordially,

Kerry Thompson
