It is also a concept that needs clarification not least with respect to questions of temperament - do people with absolute pitch insist on 12T Equal Temperament based on A=440? Or it is a broad categorical distinction, like recognising red as red and green as green?
a co-student of mine who has absolute pitch perception expressed difficulty in sight-reading (and singing) old music at A=415 Hz (much like transposing on sight on a piano), but felt no discomfort on a bar piano at 437 (plus minus a few beers that had been poured in over the years) or on a crisp concert grand at 442.
