Abstract :
If you decided to learn a piece of music, a piano concerto, say, you´d likely start by getting a copy of the score to study. However, what if you came away from that study with only the knowledge that the score consisted of 1432 A notes, 1268 Es, 745 G-sharps, and so on? Have you learned the piece? No, of course not it´s not the number of notes that matters.
