[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.
