There is an interesting story about pitch..perfect or otherwise.
At one time the internationally accepted standard for pitch was... middle A as played by the Vienna Opera. This developed into an international fracas because the Vienna musicians tuned a half note sharp, because this made all their productions sound more brilliant. Singers complained that their voices were strained. I forget all the details, but the story would make a good basis for a comic opera.
