Try this, David. Start and stop the sound a few times within the examples
and let the "echo" register in your imagination. I think this actually helps
to hear the individual pitches of the chord members.

I learned to do this while doing "take downs" for my forensic musicology
work. It's surprising how long the memory lingers in your "ears."

I ended up looping the wav files in Sonic Foundry
Acid this morning. I'll have more time to listen
this evening.
