Faster does not equal "more". You will almost always perceive the
fundamental pitches as being most important, and therefore most noticeable
if they're not in tune.

Calling all intonation experts.When two horns playing a perfect fifth are 5
cents off pure intonation aren't there more intonation beats per second than
if they are off 5 cents playing a unison? Is that right? However I think I

It is really amazing to watch some conductors, how they
wonder that we start things together even they themselves
