>I have never read or heard anything that suggests either found it terribly useful

Allegedly, Mozart transcribed Allegri's Miserere after hearing it performed once in the Vatican: https://www.classicfm.com/composers/mozart/guides/mozart-all....

Perhaps apocryphal, but sounds pretty useful to me.




I don’t think that it is attributable to absolute pitch, that might not even be required.

It’s “just” insanely good memory for music.


This skill has absolutely nothing to do with whether one has perfect pitch, however.
