I tried playing the Lobster Quadrille on the trumpet this morning, and found
one huge problem with it. Isn't the assumption that a note is the same as
the note an octave above it and the one an octave below it a huge cultural
bias? It is in all natural languages except that I don't believe gaelic
music transcription has that problem. Chinese and Italian do, and the rest
of the languages get it from them. But since to the best of my knowledge
it's not everywhere, isn't it rather difficult to arbitrarily say two notes
are the same note even if they're five octaves apart?
