I know several choral pieces where the dynamics change on a single note. E.g.
in Reutter's " Ecce Quomodo" there is a whole note with p on the first two
beats and f on the last two beats. This cannot be expressed by velocity, which
is modelled after a keyboard, but is unable to express dynamic changes other
instruments are able to do.
Similarly, an organ swell on a single note cannot be done with velocity, but
only via volume.
Cheers,
