I do not follow this thread, nor do I listen to much music these days - it is difficult to listen with headphones on and Synthetic Dave reading everything, and because with hearing aids in, the music is just not the same.

However, I hope I may ask a question. I remember way back that all musical instruments had to be tuned to a pitch one semi-tone higher. Does anyone remember (a) when this was, and (b) what happened about, for instance, wind instruments made before that date? Stringed instruments would not be a problem, but any wind ones would, I think.
Thank  you.

I have read that changes in pitch have taken place, but not within our lifetimes. Handel's tenor parts, for example, are harder to sing now than at the time that he wrote them.

Chet Baker - I Get Along Without You Very Well


I spent quite a lot of time in Amsterdam once, and was usually in a hotel just next to one with a plaque about it being the place Baker died. Sad tale.

Pretty cool. Like Patti Smith with an injection of Eivor.
Ah, but I was so much older then ... I'm younger than that now

When you are hearing Christmas music everywhere and then you hear someone playing this and think how fresh it sounds

Before we work on Artificial Intelligence shouldn't we address the problem of natural stupidity.
