I have heard/read more than once that it is necessary to play slightly sharp in the altissimo range because when the notes in this range are played on pitch, they "sound" flat to most ears. I think pianos are also tuned slightly sharp in the upper ranges as well.
My questions: (1) Have I been drinking to much amontillado tonight, and this is all in my imagination? (2) If there is some credence to this thought, what do the pros recommend as an appropriate level of sharpness (e.g. 5 cents) , and at what note should it start?
