josephus07 is an unknown quantity at this point
Back to Sequenza X,

When the trumpet plays D4, does that note act as a fundamental, complete with its own overtone series?

Does the playing of D4 into the piano with damper pedal down actually cause all of harmonic series with that note in it to resonate? That would be a backwards relationship of normal, right? I mean, when you play a fundamental, it will cause the overtones above it sound, but if you play a note, does it really cause pitches below it to sound?

Thanks
