    [ (page 178) ... we have been trained to pay attention to, and to store in the long-term memory, only relative pitch intervals, because it is the information most relevant to a musical message... the inforamtion on absolute pitch, although reaching our brain, is discarded as nonessential in the cognitive process. It can, however, be retained by all normal persons during short intervals of time, ranging from 10s up to a few minutes ]
