A couple of points.
First, everyone I've known that had perfect pitch (an obviously small
number) has found it to be more of a problem than a help. If you have
perfect pitch, the note you see is the note you hear. So if you're =
playing
Bb clarinet, your eye and your ear "see" two different pitches. This =
is
amplified if you play A or Eb clarinet. Only if you play C> >clarinet =
would
the written note and the heard note be the same.
>>>>>>>< SNIP >
I was wondering - what happened to people with perfect pitch when =
Concert
pitch changed? Were they still perfect, or did they have to relearn =
their
perfection?
