Yes, George, it IS awkward 19:19 Jul 29, 2013
One really can't say "tread the realms" — one might tread a path, or the boards, or water, or grapes, but a 'realm' is something extensive, through which one might trudge, or which one might criss-cross.
I think what you have done is mixed your metaphors in a most unfortunate way, and I for one support the editor's comment.
I also don't think that 'tread' is a particularly good lexical choice when talking about music, suggesting as it can a heavy footstep, and in any case, this is not dance. I think music (especially the kinds cited here) needs something altogether more mercurial.
