Carolina at Chapel Hill Lines: 10 [I don't hear Polyphony - I read it] Actually, when I listen to something like an organ fugue, I don't actively filter the notes to find the polyphony. It sort of 'leaps out at me' and sort of melts together into the instantaneous harmony ( refer to instantaneous velocity), so I guess I'm not analyzing the music consciously. Bill Gibson
