Interesting . Lately I”be been thinking about the B 6th in D on the chromatic. Not as a passing note , but landing on it. I like the tension is gives, the expectation of what is to come. Listen to the opening phrase of Greg Izor’s Close to home on the 16 hole chro

Very interesting. Feel is in the ear of the listener for several reasons. We all have different things in life events Covid lockdowns, the passing of loved ones that can change daily and that in turn would change the way you feel about a particular piece of music even if you heard it many times before. So that could influence your hearing or feelings Daily to the same exact notes even if played the same way the next Day. No 2, I have a hearing lose in my right ear due to a damaged ear drum that ear has about a 85% lose of hearing while the other is fairly good. With that being said, although I am not like a totally blind like some and they are really aware of their surroundings, they see the World or have a subconscious vision or imagination of what they hear, because I have to be aware of hearing and interpretation of what my left hears from my right. It's not fun but I deal with it. So I can relate to what your course refers to as bites and feelings. Now I must so add that due to my lose, what my left portrays as the same sound or in this case note or notes, from my right ear interpretation is different becayse it lacks the full sound spectrum of frequency that many can hear. As we get older we lose hear or some frequencies that we once could hear. So we all hear different or interpretation of sound is way different. This is interesting as people with Autism that don't understand sheet music or any theory that can play by ear note for note I believe called Sevants, can hear Bach, Mozart etc 1 time and play it note for note,, have been described as associate notes with colors and they just play those colors. I guess that is basically the same colors is feelings in this case.

an interesting take but would have been nice to have known from the start what harmonica was used - the D scale yes, but only by catching a fleeting glimpse at about 4:0 mins in does it look like a Low D

[@richardroysleigh]

Thanks for your comment. It is a low D harmonica and I added that detail to the notes.

The feeling for any one specific note might be biased since it’s an integral part of a sequence or pattern of notes, a body of notes and that one note morphs out of the last one, lingers, then melds into the next note. So I felt the 3rd was elevated and suspended. That’s when I wondered would it still be an elevated feeling if isolated. Good luck with the endeavor.
