>>131099153>immediately identify it as B flatthe weird thing about perfect pitch is that you can have it without knowing the names of the notes. I have a friend who's got it, he can point out with 100% accuracy when things are in the same key or when notes are the same, but he couldn't tell you if it's a B flat or a D.But to the point, I don't think this implies that. I don't know why pianists can all recognize that that note = chopin or whatever, but my guess is that it's either something most pianists learn early or just gets drilled into their head for one reason or another as a student, where they might be able to point that one out. A lot of what I play is in the key of D major, I can identify a D in the right octave with like 80% accuracy just because of that. Couldn't do that with any other notes though without a reference tone.Also it could just be that these pianists are identifying the song based on looking at that player press that key
>>131099153everybody seems to be able to sing the Do-Re-Mi song with the same notes, which I assume is the C major scale.so yes that would suggest everyone has perfect pitch.
