绝对音感有多“绝对”?

我上大学时,合唱团指挥每次排练都会以“给我唱个A!”开始。100人的合唱团会乱作一团,结果经常跑调得十分搞笑。

我上大学时,合唱团指挥每次排练都会以“给我唱个A!”开始。100人的合唱团会乱作一团,结果经常跑调得十分搞笑。经过一年,我们越来越好,通常是因为我们会调整到合唱团中少数几个我们知道拥有绝对音感的人,他们能够在没有其他音符提示的情况下说出(然后,希望可以发出)一个音符。

通常,如果我们都调整到那些拥有绝对音感的人,我们就能表现得不错。但有时候……有时候即使那样也不行。这时那些拥有绝对音感的人就会显得非常尴尬。毕竟,绝对音感应该是,嗯,绝对的!

但它真的绝对吗?
