..personally, I enjoy the discussion that's been going on here regarding temperments.. ..now a question.. Bill Bremmer..a while ago I made a statement to this list that I have Perfect Pitch, Pitch Re-call, Absolute Pitch, whatever you wanna call it, I have it..this led to some personal questions regarding WHAT I actually hear..single notes stand out like a sore thumb, but KEYS is where I hear *color*..now for the question.. ..if we're listening to a piece and we're enjoying what we're hearing, is there any way to determine if we're listening to a HT as opposed to a ET..?? ..I've always heard Eb minor and Db minor as being dark as night..my guess is these keys become even darker in the HT's..and over the years, I have probably heard various pieces being performed in a HT and never knew it..I have zero experience in tuning in anything other than ET, but my feeling here is if I'm gonna be as good as I can be in this business, I should learn to tune in the Temperments.. ..is there any way to determine what you're hearing from just listening?..
