5 不定式和动名词作表语的区别
Mr Titterton is chairman of the Omega Ensemble but has been the group’s official page turner for the past four years. His job is to sit beside the pianist and turn the pages of the score so the musician doesn’t have to break the flow of sound by doing it themselves. He said he became just as nervous as those playing instruments on stage.

请问文中作表语的不定式 to sit beside the pianist…可以换成动名词 sitting beside the pianist…吗？请不要简单地回答可以或不可以，我希望有词典的例句作支持。谢谢。
