...musical recollections. One heard a piano and saw the man playing it. A boy reported seeing men seated in chairs and hearing them sing. These were no hallucinations, but always the reproductions of actual experiences. Aside from music, patients have recalled a wide variety of incidents, usually trivial, often from childhood, and connected with the family or neighbors...
