Lately, I have been hearing alot about perfect pitch and relative pitch. But, I was just introduced to equal tempered, and just intonation. Wouldn't perfect pitch just be relative pitch to the highest power? Music is based on the tempered scale and we tune to A440. And some clarinet makers are furnishing clarinet to A444 (higher pitch), and supposedly pitch is "creeping up". If one had perfect pitch, it seems to me that whatever pitch was heard as "perfect", would make most of the other notes in the octave out of tune. Does that make sense? Maybe i'm just confused with this whole tempered and just intonation thing. Or maybe, they don't even have anything to do with each other. I'm just confused...
