A familiar
melody is easier to separate and track than an unfamiliar one. This
exhibit demonstrates how, having identified a familiar tune, a listener
can more easily follow that one, even when it's been combined with
another tune. Another subtle way to track one tune over another
is to change the timing of the tunes. Conventions in our minds have
taught us to focus on the notes occurring at certain places in a
composition. In this exhibit exchanging the tunes makes one easier
to follow than the other.
