Twice in recent weeks one of the clues in The National Post (Canada) crossword puzzle has been --" Guido's highest note". In my ignorance I assumed that he was an opera singer that I'd never heard of. I'm sure that John Howell and some others must know the answer! thanks, Margaret Whitby
Of course! Ela, or e'' or E5 depending on your system. Fourth space in treble clef. He considered it the highest note used in boys (not men's) voices. His system used a very specific pitch set, and did NOT assume that scales continued up or down to infinity.
