 Figure 1. One musician's imaginary perfect sound.



 Figure 2. Early experiments renotating neumes in color on the grid released the notion of flexible pitch weight and relationships.




  Figure 3. A child responds with exuberance when he finally grasps the sense of a Bartok melody.



  Figure 4. Twenty minutes of laborious tracking of E and B in Handel's Harmonious Blacksmith utterly exhausted a woman who had suffered severe ulnar nerve damage from a stroke. She thereupon sat at the piano and played the piece, though, as she said, she "no longer remembered how".



  Figure 5. Exuberant, precise: This depicts one person's favorite sound on the piano.
