Whew, what a relief. I heard the "Frere Jacque" right away, but couldn't figure
out why I was hearing it in minor. Didn't make the leap to Mahler.

Very interesting, indeed! My 31-year-old ears could easily hear the melody in
each, but I guessed the wrong "wrong note" in the 10k, highest pitched one
(assuming all 3 had the same wrong note).
Also interesting - my dog was completely unmoved by these frequencies. Guess we
have to go higher yet?
Great thread!
