Bergantino, RPT >Willoughby Hills, Ohio It shows the difference between hearing and listening. I tell some of my customers that they (most of them, anyway) can hear just what I do when I am tuning their piano. Sometimes I teach them how to hear a Maj.3rd beating. When they hear it, I tell them that they are now _listening_ to the piano, not just hearing it. Dire consequences can ensue when you think you are listening but just hearing... like saying "yes, dear" after a not-quite-listened-to utterence of a significant other.
