It’s like the black and blue dress

I fugue you!

Please do your research. In western countries, perfect pitch is rare, but not extremely rare under classical pro musicians. In China, I know estimations that about 1/3 of the population has perfect pitch because being trained in a language using the height of notes for communication.

Thank you. I enjoyed your video. I would love to see you doing a video on keys (C maj/min, Bb maj/min, A maj, etc) relative to COLOUR that you "hear". Since I was a little kid, I "hear" colours - I do have "relative pitch", but my "hearing" of colours are much stronger than my hearing of actual pitch. From the colour that I "hear", I identify the pitch.

So that feeling where your perfect pitch "shifted", that's basically what aging does to you. Things you used to be able to do gets harder. Things hurt that didn't hurt before, etc.

I really recognized the agony you feel... I've always felt 415 hz was truly a pure sound, whereas 440 hz sounded like something an engineer would contrive and then would gather a bunch of scientists would justify it with math... stop complaining and enjoy it.

Very interesting. And on the bright side, you've proved that perfect pitch resides in the wisdom teeth! 🤣

Hahahaha I love that!

Why is beethoven telling everyone to shut up when his ass is deaf😭

I'm tone deaf! KZbin strikes again!

What piano sound are you using? Edit: 2:43 - that lowest note sounds just like Keppy's Steinway but with a bit of EQ. Edit: what if the entire piano is just KSP with an EQ.

18:27 - My perfect pitch got shifted flat about 30 cents when I got sick a few years ago.

This sounds like the transpose button on my digital piano lol. Also I don't think that harpsichord is in equal temperament.

You sound like a raving lunatic to me, and the perfect pitch seems alien. Is there someone with perfect colours, too, who can recognise the frequency of the light colours without a reference?

the more I read music while playing in period tunings, the more I am able to let go of perfect pitch. It's like a spectrum of pitches, instead of a scale of letter notes. It helps allowing me to hear that a C in this piece sounds like a 440 B, but I don't think of it that way. I'm teaching myself that pitches are just notes on the staff and can be called anything.

i will die on the hill of i dont care what turning it was wrote in or they used, play it in the tuning 432 or 440. this is just dumb and pointless. theres no point to forcing your brain into this just to loose your perfect pitch possibly.

For "perfect pitch" to exist it would mean there is some naturally "correct" pitch. There isn't. A=440 was a totally arbitrary standardization/recommendation established in the 20th century. The pitch for "A" throughout history has been discovered to have been anything from 392Hz to 460+ Hz. There were tuning forks of the early 1800s that were A=455Hz! It's all 'relative pitch' plus 'pitch memory' which can be developed based on any starting pitch.

Oh yeah, I'm subscribing.

this is just s guy explaining his autism

I don’t have perfect pitch, but getting my wisdom teeth removed did the same thing. I swore my AirPods connected sound was off for weeks!! Everything sounded off, and I still don’t know if I got used to the change or if it changed back.

I regard PP as a disability. A straitjacket into an artificial identification system. Relative pitch is a better skill..

Self harm is a serious issue in the modern baroque business

Funny video!! Thank you!! ....indeed ... four forty hurts.... 😇- There is nothing wrong with 440Hz - perfect Roman pitch in the 17th century... Modern pitch in any modern orchestra is - at the moment - about 443 Hz - and the 415Hz-thing is something that "came about" in the early sixties, as the 'parole' was "they seem to have played about a half.tone flat, back then"... Later, of course, we 'discovered' that the French tuned even half a tone lower than that (392Hz) and that the Chor-ton ("466") was a whole note above the Kammerton. The "a" was not a standard reference note, either... rather, the c' was - as the the lowest note on the organ was C - which was a pipe of a physical length of eight feet. Now - to that came the funny fact that the measuring units were by no means standardized... which influenced the practical pitches rather grossly - hence the different pitches, altogether - To all this comes the temperaments - you also 'recognize' the notes from the key you play in - remembering how keys are "tempered" and "colored" in relation to each other. Your "voyage" has been a "dramma di musica" in itself - wonderful to hear it told like this!! Having been "exposed" to these things, myself - but without the "handicap" of a "militant perfect, 442Hz 'Gehör' / pitch hearing", but even, rather close to it, I found the way into the different pitches not only interesting, but also 'rather quite exciting' - All the best of musical & artistic pleasures for you in the years to come!! PS - Here is a video that I made ... many years ago now - in practical tuning - how to set up a very common-sensical temperament of mine.. Part one - setting it up: kzbin.info/www/bejne/epvEnGWfiLRlfs0si=nlD2b2i6NQ6Zi4sx Part two - how it sounds in the different keys: kzbin.info/www/bejne/a3rSaoVpeb6hjcksi=PwuC0HeM9AhT1nRz

ok enough with the fucking memes, you are not funny...

As someone without perfect pitch, I can‘t relate.

the reason i noticed that a was a g sharp is because of chopin's waltz in c sharp minor. i dont have perfect pitch yet i was like. huh thats a g sharp

This is perfect!

Wonderful! 🎵😊

Wait so 415 = 440/pow(2,1/12) so exactly one tone down. That should be pretty easy to play* with relative pitch. ha ha

Thank God I don't have perfect pitch, because I didn't start music till 17. I know for a fact I woulda got it too, because within 2 years I could sing, hum, or whistle, or find C 523.25hz from memory and use it as an anchor point to deduce any note I'm hearing, or hear the note C in random contexts, but it's only C. Unlike you people, I love the sound of baroque tuning.

and for the colors: it's called a shift in hue

5:49 Bro literally using anti jet lag method to slowly adjust to new -timezone- pitch one -hour- Hertz at a time. Smart =)

10:00 you do realize most people with perfect pitch will experience the shift when they get old anyway? so just be prepared

Bach tackling EVERYONE! 😂😂😂

Fascinating, I would have imagined perfect pitch would be nothing but an amazing boon to any musical artist, I never realised that it could be a curse as well. I wonder how singers and violinists with perfect pitch manage with changing pitches or temperaments

Sounds like you have good relative pitch, not perfect pitch.

i can relate so much...

Here's a metaphor. Image the vast majority of the population is color blind. You are an art student and since almost everyone is color blind, you all learn color-schemes instead of individual colors. Fall colors are a specific combination of dark red, purple, yellow and brown. Most people can't pick out the exact colors without a reference, but they can see the color-scheme as a whole and easily tell it apart from spring colors. However, the few people who aren't colorblind can easily objectively identify individual colors. They see the fall dark purple and know it's Pantone 2524-TCX right away, so they don't pay any attention in color-scheme class because when quizzed, they can just look for the one that contains Pantone 2524-TCX etc. and know that's fall colors. But They don't learn how the color scheme looks as a whole or get an experiential sensory understanding of it or the other color schemes. Now for the new semester the students study vintage clothing that uses slightly different colors for all the color schemes but otherwise the schemes are all the same. This is very easy for most students since the schemes look and feel the same as a whole overall. However, the students who only ever learned specific individual colors now have to re-learn every single one of them

Yeah, but did Cage pull down the keyboard cover has he left?

As someone who has taught many semesters of music theory, I can affirm that what you say about the laziness of students with absolute pitch not actually understanding chords and just calculating the value by taking a pitch inventory is spot-on. It's why at least 50% of the time I demonstrate an ear training exercise in a different key than it is written. For example: "The next transcription exercise is in B flat, 4/4, starting on the downbeat." And then I play it in A flat or C or something. The absolute pitch students eventually get over it and learn how to be good musicians. Or, they don't and get a bad grade. Laziness is not a disability.

there is no perfect pitch, it is relative to 440Hz reference note (should be 432Hz), change ref. note, "perfect" pitch needs to be relearned

Okay, so now as you have come so far, please do me favour and work on the proper harpsichord technique... no offense, but you play it extremely agressively, hence it sounds very harsh and loudly...

I love the double violin concerto piano interlude!

Wonderful video! That perfect pitch shifting segment - thank you for that. I have experienced this in this past year and it is absolutely mind frazzling for me as a singer. It certainly causes a lot of stress in the mind of the musician. I thought I was going crazy. It’s nice to know that it is experienced by others with perfect pitch!

Your A=415 experiment you're making struck me as a little bit scary, possibly dangerous... Is it possible that what you went through after your wisdom tooth work was caused by it, in part?

I had one of my molars removed about five years ago and the next morning I stepped into an elevator, noticed something wasn't right, and frantically searched online if the perfect pitch would return. It returned in a few days but A very jarring experience

Personally, when I sing baroque I need a while to switch to its pitch and then I'm fine. Then when I switch to "normal" switch I also need some time to readjust :') just hoping that readjustment time will go lower over time and now I just know not to trust my ear right after singing something baroque xD

This is amazing.

Actually a half step down is not exactly 415. It is ≈415.30

I have a decent pitch memory and sometimes notice that "original instruments" ensembles sound out of tune. Years ago I worked with an engineer who had absolute pitch and was envious of people who could transpose. He said he had to completely relearn the melody.
