It's funny, how the western musical alphabet only goes to G...or H, in some cases......and yet, we still write new songs frequently....using just those 12 notes, a universe, of a particular western flavor. Don't get me started on Gameleon and other note scales, subtleties I cannot quite recognise, due to culture.
12 to the power of 12 is....8,916,100,448,256. 8 trillion, 916 billion, 100 million, 448 thousand, 256.
as a one-time student of Balinese gamelan I'm still impressed with some of the work of Canadian born composer/musicologist Colin McPhee, who tried to capture its typical 5-scale notes (for piano) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J3PacNDMneE
When I first saw H being used, in a music pamphlet or Euro origin, I was like, wtf, H? I quickly closed it and have not looked back. And thanks indeed for the New Year, I am a wood dragon, so I will count it in February. I am not sure if its a metal or a wood dragon, gotta confirm on that. Happy New Year to Your too, all the more precious.
Your cat is so adorable! Thanks for sharing all of this. I am grateful for you.
When we got Felini out of the pound he was climbing the bars of the cage trying to bail.
Then when we got him home he climbed the walls for years, like a squirrel....

Yes, I try to work in the extra letter, after G, the H.
In Russian, NATO is spelled Hato, as the H is the American N sound...
Tuning pianas the mentor taught me , so glad to know, so called perfect pitch is not. Tis all acquired ear training.
Spell check corrected ear to war, thanks Mr billy goats.
So those who claim perfect pitch, especially youngsters, are really just professing their Arrogance, imagine that
.
Happy new Year Jacquelyn...
