I agree with Daniel Canarutto.  I can hear when the pitches are moving up
and down, but it sounds like a tune sung by a child who can't hold a
pitch--who just mimics the rise and fall of melody.  I don't know if the
Mahler 1 contingent was joking, but I guessed "Mary Had a Little Lamb".
Maybe I'm just not as sophisticated as you guys.  :-)

I think this demonstration lends weight to Hans' argument.  On the other
hand, I'm 40 and don't wear ear plugs in the orchestra, so my hearing may
not be trustworthy in making such a statement.
