correct term is "absolute pitch"

[Martin Braun <nombraun@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear Rebecca, Kevin, Tom, László, and all others --

PLEASE - don't say or write "perfect pitch".

The correct term is "absolute pitch". Research has shown that so-called
absolute-pitch possessors have no better accuracy in pitch discrimination
than other people.

You can find plenty of material on absolute pitch on Dan Levitin's web site:

All the best,

Martin
