I once asked one of my music professors to explain the subjective feeling we all have that tones in the treble clef are "high," while those in the bass clef are "low." His answer consisted of a quizzical look and mumblings to the effect that "It's obvious!" I suspect this not to be the case, although I've never been able to satisfactorily explain this phenomenon to myself. Is there anybody who can enlighten me?
