Maybe so, but expression (cc11) is essential in expressing (no pun
intended) dynamic variations from one note to the next in the context
of an overall (cc7) volume. Obviously velocity differences between notes
can also represent changes in dynamics but sustained (de)crescendos need
continuous controllers.
