Title: Once heard never forgotten? Post by: guest54 on April 04, 2012, 01:54:40 am Is this true in their own case do Members find? The sort of thing I mean is, although I have not for many decades listened to a symphony of Mendelssohn (for instance), if I do happen to hear one, I find every familiar note has somehow been retained in my mind over that long period.
I suppose it is a little like learning a language. Title: Re: Once heard never forgotten? Post by: Neil McGowan on April 04, 2012, 10:59:35 am I feel rather the same way about the Schubert Symphonies. I listened to them when I was a student. I haven't bothered with them again. But I still recognise them if I happen upon them accidently on the radio, etc. |
