[Dixielandjazz] Correct Pitch +The funniest thing I ever experienced about pitch

[alevy at alevy.com]

The year 1951. The place Manhattan School Of
Music. The teacher Prof. Howard Murphy.
Dr. Murphy was play a new Lp recording
to expose the class to a Mozart Symphony. 
He had the score and was turning pages at an
extremely rapid rate. After one movement he ran
to the piano and played a note exclaiming
"that's in the wrong key."
No one said a word. Then Dr. Murphy discovered
that the turntable had a switch to change speeds.
It was set at 78 rpm.
True story! I was there.
Happy New Year to all,
Al
Pianist, Composer, Arranger, Conductor, Teacher and Music Prep.
