You seem to think that music begins and ends with tones. I find that to be a reductionist and immature view of the matter. It's kind of like saying that it doesn't matter if it's Michelangelo or your 2 year old son that draws a lady. They're both ladies, it doesn't matter if one is painted with nuance and depth, while the other is a stick figure.

Why don't you go and listen to MIDI arrangements of classical music, if you think timbre is so unimportant? You're sounding like a 16 year old that just learned about musical theory. You want the world to be simple, but it is not.
