Perfect pitch

[paulrevenkojones at aol.com]

 David:

Minor terminology correction: beats happen between two different frequencies. A single pitch source vibrating at 523.3 cps is recognizable not by beats but in cycles per second and by some recognition capacity whether it's a relative source or "absolute' source. I'll leave it to the those who wish to be right to work that out.

The Macquarie 
Dictionary states that perfect pitch, or absolute pitch, is
the ability to 
sing or recognise the pitch of a note by ear. This is basically incorrect. I 
defy anyone
to tell that C-523.3 is beating at that rate.
