I'm very intrigued by your idea, and don't mean this comment as in any way an effort to refute your hypothesis, but the fact is that the 19th century was much more particular about all aspects of musical nuance, at least in regard to what those writing tutors specified, but also in regard to the notation. That Beethoven wrote more p and f in his music than Bach does not in any way indicate that Bach wanted no dynamic contrast in his music. -- David W.
