Recording at high-resolution, dithering to Red Book Standards

Hi:

I sent a note to Alesis, whose ML-9600 I use while doing location recordings. They failed to properly address the following question, however:

Are any audio artifacts introduced as a result of originally recording a solo piano at 24/96, editing at that resolution and then dithering down to produce a Red Book 16 bit/44.1 kHz sampled cdr?

What happens to pitch when such a down conversion takes place?

Is recording at 24/96 only for the purpose of eventually producing a standard "cd" sampled recording a waste of higher resolution, or should I just stick with recording solo piano at 16 bit/44.1 sampling?

Again, what advantage would I have in recording at higher resolution only to yield a Red Book product, other than preserving the master for some future applicaiton?
