I've never heard anyone say "on a brighter note," but music can in fact be bright. It refers to the tone...God, Beth, get some culture!!

God, Diana, get some logic. A note cannot physically be bright. And musically brightness is not used while describing a note. It's refered to more as lighter. Never in all my years of playing has someone told me to play a note brighter.

Maybe not necessarily referring to notes alone, but like I said, brightness refers to tone and sound in general. The dictionary defines it as "High and clear" or "clear and sharp and ringing", i.e. "the bright sound of the trumpet section." As notes are merely the individual tones of definite pitch, a note could be said to be bright.

"The bright SOUND" while notes do create sound, sound does not create notes (Like a square is a rectangle, but a rectangle is not square) hence, an individual note cannot be bright.

also, notes are not pitch. pitch is pitch. notes are the symbols for the various pitches.
