infinite/finite

One of the things about the higher harmonics is the fact that, after
a certain point, we cannot hear them (sorry, I don't know just where
that point is scientifically). They are "brought down mathematically" to
be within the scope of human hearing. I think of this as tempering the
harmonic series, in a way...we are not actually hearing the REAL note,
we are hearing a lower octave representation of that pitch. It would be
fascinating if human hearing was broader, and we could hear those real
high pitches...but, we can't. I like to keep that in mind as I listen to
music that uses these unhearable intervals...Hstick
