Perfect Pitch
Filed under: add to del.icio.us
Perfect pitch, also known as absolute pitch, refers to the ability to identify any tone upon hearing it sounded alone or to sing any specified tone. Experiments have shown that this ability, a form of memory, can be acquired through practice, but in some individuals it appears to be inborn. There does not seem to be a correlation between absolute pitch and musical genius. Can you name two celebrated composers who possessed this ability, as well as two who did not?
