Re: Transposition

I **think** some musicians transpose more by ear than by calculation. Fingerings of different pitches (rather than "notes") get wired in, or fingering changes for different intervals do. Familiarity with scales and related patterns can reinforce this facility, but I don't think they necessarily create it. I seem to have, or maybe I once did have, a modest ability this way. In the past some transpositions I unexpectedly ran into just seemed to work without my really knowing how, and without having practiced it. I was far from good at it, but I think some people very much are so.
