Why do so many equate high notes being played fast with being good?

Asked by 12Oaks (4051points) March 12th, 2011

It’s impressive, for sure, and sometimes musically appropriate. But sometimes, something slow and lower is in order. Look at this song” and listen to the solo at the 1:25 mark. It’s slow, nice, musically appropriate, works well with the song, and just takes a great song and makes it almost perfection. Could you imagine if that keyboard player decided for something fast and higher pitched? I’m not knocking fast and high, not in the least, but just don’t assume fast and high as being good and slow and medium being bad. Any other songs where slow was the way to go is appreciated.
