Jonathan,

Do you think Ian may have been refering to difference tones, which to my
understanding are how two frequencies interfere on the ear drum itself?

Basset's duet makes extensive use of this phenomenon, which is also truly
wierd and interesting.

Therefore, the best intonation of a clarinet (or any instrument) when
playing a unison with a piano is that when the fundamental is precisely in
tune with the fundamental on the piano.

Now, when you start talking about thirds, sixths, sevenths, then it gets
more interesting...
