david,
by what criteria are you judging 'chiaroscuro'? do you use spectral
analysis for such an estimation? do you adjust for voice size and room
size? if you are going by listening with your own ears, how do you know you
have the same standard throughout the four years of a typical student's time
with you?
i'm not arguing against fairness, i am arguing against the notion that
true objective judgments can be made about an activity that is appreciated
subjectively. and oddly, i encourage you to keep looking.
