Pianos of standard size have a key
board of seven octaves and three notes
So white keys. There is a reason
for this limit AS it is. the keys at
either end of the keyboard are rarely
used. and the tones that can now be
produced. from the lowest to the high
est, include all that have any definite
musical value to the human ear. II
the compass OF the keyboard were ex.

sounds or noises without any musical
significance. II is possible for the
human ear to perceive sounds over q
range of about eleven octaves. but the
production of musical sounds il con.
fined to the seven and one-third
octaves.

one of the men on the front seat

there would be a murmured "RechtI"

Elizabeth after one of these halts.
The orderly looked surprised.
