#renaissance #musichistory gang, do we know anything about the experience of people with #perfectpitch from this era (ie before absolute pitch, A=440hz stuff)? It seems like to anyone at the time some people might have been known to be good at understanding relative pitch, but could anyone distinguish between the two? Was there one experience then that now is actually two separate kinds of experience?

Related, is perfect pitch a noted thing in modern non #12TET music cultures?
