atually, most people with PERFECT pitch are not musicians - and don't even like music. it's almost like localized synethasia. they can hear dissonances and harmonies we can not, and no instrument seems to be in tune to them. even on big label recordings, nothing will seem in tune to them. it's not a good thing.
absolute pitch, is what mozart, beethoven, asian 11 year olds, have. it's the adaption of the perfect pitch mechanism to actual music - which is why they are both musically adept and able to enjoy it as the rest of us do. it is, however, not a 'godlike' ability, as very few great musicians have it, and a great many that have it are either not musicians or not really special ones. a useful talent, to be sure, and it would certainly predispose you to musical affinities, but merely possessing it is not godlike.
i might have reversed absolute and perfect pitch here, i dunno. |
