   -K, let me chime in here; :)

   RE: the whole idea of 'too easy...'

   What if, rather than being an idea of being too easy, it's simply an 
idea of wanting to promote a certain specific sonic quality or ambience of 
a piece which is just too much or varied for the performer to play all at 
once?...

   So, in essence, the backing tracks are being used as specific 
'instruments...'

   I personally feel that all of the bits of a performance that a 
performer 
deems necessary are important for the performance as a whole...

   It's not whether a piece can 'stand' by itself but would it have the 
same impact?...  -or one that the performer intended?...

   Anyway, terrific topic!!!

Have an awesome evening All!...

Smiles,

CQ  :)
