"Except for a very few, the pieces are absolutely wonderful….
The anonymity really changes the way we listen to the pieces
IMHO, we obviously have no preconception of what it "should"
be, no memory, but (at least for me) this kind of blindfold test
implies a new kind of listening, really interesting as I more take
care about details than usual, trying to find clues (more than
my habit to listen "globally"...)... It was a great experience I
would love to have again." from Heddy Boubaker
“Totally agreed with the first comment. Listening the pieces
under anonymity implies an impartial way of a clean sounds -
listening and being enveloped by them. I am really curious to
know the names of some of the musicians, but I can wait.”
