Hi all,
I played the 3 different versions with the wrong note on my computer  
and here are the results:
The highest version was too high (or something else perhaps?) for the  
external speakers on my computer. These are speakers anyone can  
purchase for under $50, two tweeters and a subwoofer, and sound fine  
for most things. The pitches went in and out. On my headphones I could  
hear the pitches.
The other two samples were audible on the speakers.
John and Bob, i think your points are well taken.
The original Mahler 1 wav file plays on my speakers. I'm not sure what  
i am hearing in terms of overtones or folding, but i can tell what the  
pitches are.
Sincerely,
Wendell
