<DIV>No Alicia, can you explain yourself a little better? (lol)</DIV>

We'll agree to disagree Matt, but your geting on my last nerve with your responses because some of them, well, you remind me of a 20 year old guy, who just sits there and replies justfor the sake of it....<BR>Sorry...<BR> <BR> <BR>Perfection IS in eyes of beholder, and heres why..... some people like Martha Argerich, some people love her music, some people hate her music, I think the way she plays is flawless in every piece ive heard, and as far as I'm concerned with music shes perfect.. im the beholder and perfect TO ME... and i could care less what anyone else thinks. because i worry about ME first.<BR>am i making myself clear at all?<BR> <BR>Alicia<BR><BR><BR>

<DIV>Alicia,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Perfection is not in the eyes of the beholder, sorry. You are perfect, or you are not. Saying "no one is perfect" is safe to say for everyone in this world, including you Alicia. Knowing what people can and cannot do has nothing to do with this. People have different talents. I can operate a skil saw very well, but I still have to use a guide to get a perfectly straight cut. The most amazing concert pianists practice ALL day. If they were perfect, there would be no need for them to practice.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>You naming the notes as your friends played it is still relative pitch.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>As for your friend...telling you how sharp or flat a note within 1 to 2 cents is still not perfect.<BR></DIV>

I messed around with my friends before who are tied down in musical field, they randomly pressed keys on my piano and 9 out of10 i got it spot on... a few years ago i had a friend (may he rest in peace) who could tell u exactly how sharp of flat the note was, and get it withing 1-2 cents....<BR>there is such a thing i think.... it comes with experience, and knowing ur instrument... or in my case probably sheeer dumb luck...! <BR>U cant speak for everyone in this world Matt, u dont know what people can and can not do..<BR>as for human perfection... well in that case, perfection is in the eyes of the beholder, and no one else matteres...<BR> <BR>Alicia<BR><BR><BR>

<DIV>There is no such thing as PERFECT pitch, only relative pitch. It someone had perfect pitch, it would mean it would have to be perfect, and besides Jesus Christ, I have yet to see a human that was perfect. If indeed this customer had perfect pitch, they could be able to tell you that the note was four cents flat. But because she said the note sounded like a "d", it is relative.</DIV>
