  1. I used to play the clarinet as a kid ... well, I tried for a year anyway. The whole step below thing is absolutely bizarre, I had never heard of that. WHY?

  2. Fascinating ... it's always seemed like magic the way a mere human can coodinate so many elements into an orchestra. I love the sound of oboes and bassoons.

  3. Rick, when you say Bb Maj "sounds good" ... why is that? Is that because of the way the legacy instruments work? Shouldn't all keys sound the same in an equal tempered scale and therefore all keys would be like slowing down or speeding up a vinyl record? Where each note is either a multiple or divisor of the twelfth root of two .... i.e. 1.05946309436 So, if Middle C is 130.82 hz C# would be that multiplied by  1.05946309436 or 138.59 B would be that divided by 1.05946309436, or 125.36 The twelfth root of two or (or equivalently ) is an algebraic irrational number. It is most important in Western music theory, where it represents the frequency ratio (musical interval) of a semitone ( Play (help·info)) in twelve-tone equal temperament. This has always confused me ... is there a video that explains this?
