No, a halfstep above la. "Fa" is always the upper note of a halfstep
in solmization. But I'm sure the question addressed the Gamut, not

Fa super la? Meaning a major second higher than la, but in the

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
