Commentary

There is this issue that some musicians have called perfect pitch. It’s different from relative pitch. I have that simply from a lifetime of experience. It means that I can roughly guess the note within a half step based on how it feels on my throat. I can be correct most of the time if you give me time and test the octaves.
