Jazz chord balancing on Piano
When playing a chord on a piano, how should the volumes of each degree of the chord be balanced. I am thinking that since the perfect fifth is often omitted, maybe it should be played softer if it was written. Continuing this line of thought, I think that maybe other degrees of the chord have certain preferences for balancing, but how would a pianist balance, let's say, the b7 and the #11 in a 7#11 chord? Should the b7 be louder or should the #11 be louder. Are there any guidelines to this matter? Any referencing material provided would be appreciated.
