     Perhaps we can find another subject besides serialism/atonality.
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?
