It took a moment to realize your first sentence was derisive sarcasm.

From TFA:

> "Here is what I gathered, from the perspective of someone whose only music class was learning to play four notes on a recorder in second grade. I stress that I don’t know anything about music and this post is terrible. If you you so much as know how to whistle, please don’t read this you will laugh at me."

... which makes your comment even more uncharitable and unrealistically demanding. As if any mere blog post could answer those questions in meaningful depth. IOw, I don't understand the point of your complaint.



I was not being sarcastic. The part about how the octave gets divided up is just missing some key concepts.


Ah, ok, thanks for clarifying. (If your 2nd sentence began with "But, ", this would have been clear to me.)

PS I love OP's writing style, too. Fearless learning in public is to everyone's benefit -- given proper disclosure/transparency.


All good. I went back and edited more. I would hate the author to think I was denigrating the article.
