Particularly on Alto or Bari.
Mine would be Eb Minor, I guess...honestly, the best key sig can't be decided in general. Different pieces need different keys. *shrug*
E Melodic Minor. Or at least, it's one of them.

ive just started to compose a piece for piano and cello in E melodic minor :P
Nice, you'll have to show me the turn out. I'm not too particular about what the main functions are, but to say the least, it's a very formidible key.

Haha that's okay ;)
Pentatonic is a
scale, not a
key signature
I tend to lean towards a nice E minor key.
C sharp minor, because some of my favourite Rachmaninov pieces use it.
Quote from: KefkaticFanatic on July 05, 2009, 06:44:30 AMC sharp minor, because some of my favourite Rachmaninov pieces use it.
That's true. I like the famous prelude Op.3 No.2... and also a bunch of other pieces....
but C minor is always the best..
I'm playing the Nocturne of Rachmaninoff now, it's lovely, even though it's in A minor.
I didnt know that He have made a nocturne. Ill check it out :P
My favorite key is the A blues key, so A Mixolydian. or, wait, that's a scale. How about Gb Minor.
C major's always good. :P One of Koji Kondo's general traits as a composer is using as little accidentals as possible, and he composes some awesome songs, I'm sure we can all agree. ;)

Um, have you actually seen the mario song? there's accidental all over the place. same with the mario 2 overworld. Although you are right in that he composes some awesome songs

Yeah. Not I said GENERAL traits. ;)
Some songs I were referring to included many Zelda songs (Lost Woods, Plumm's Theme) and others such as...
Okay, you win. :P
I'll tell you who uses C Major a lot. Grant Kirkhope. Either he goes C major, then F sharp minor then E flat Major, all in 7 measure, or he puts a lot of his music in C major.

I can agree, but all those accidentals resides in the C-major key. Revolving and adapting in the music.
I like C-minor.
I love flats; dislike sharps. That's an odd thing, most wind players like flats, while strings like sharps.
It's weird.
Quotemost wind players like flats
UNTRUE sax players usually prefer sharps. Same with trumpets.
I prefer flats. Gah, this is turning into the What do you prefer, flats or sharps? topic.
Flats.

His Piano Concerto No 2 in C minor is the most epic piece ever.

Flats, without doubt.
I like B# major and Fb minor ;D
E Major,Bb Major, and Db Major I like those ones...yeah...(sadly I have no more music theory knowledge cause my CRAPPY! School cut the funds on music programs so no AP music theory class T_T)
B Major is an awesome key to play in, but no one ever writes in it. After that it's Eb Major.
I just got a question about this. What's the difference between flats and sharps if for example F# is the same key as Gb? I know that Gb is when you walk down to the black key and F# when you walk up to the black key. Right?
There's some advanced theory explanation that involves resolving stuff, but I don't really know that, so I'll give you this sort-of answer.
F# and Gb aren't actually the same note. They're just really close. Enharmonically equivalent, they say. They're close enough that on instruments like piano and clarinet, their frequencies are averaged and they are treated the same. Apparently the really awesome violinists play them differently.
Quote from: Seeker on September 09, 2009, 08:28:26 AMF# and Gb aren't actually the same note. They're just really close.
Who told you that? >:(
Two college professors, my third teacher, and some other random guy.
I would like to see that verified, because that seems rather ridiculous.
Is this (http://www.enotes.com/music-encyclopedia/enharmonic-equivalence-equivalents) good enough? Also, google "enharmonic keyboard."
yes lol F sharp and G flat ARE meant to be different keys, say for example in those 20th Century days when there was a fad for different tuning of instruments I think my music teacher told me that there were pianos with a second keyboard and set of strings tuned to quarter comma meantone, which meant they had to have two keys for F sharp and G flat. Also I think they just got rid of that because it was too hard to have 13 notes in an octave when they moved to equal temperament.
C minor is my favourite key :D so coool
C major is my favorite, no sharps, no flats, just the way I like it.
And just a tip, Qew, if you see topics that haven't been answered in over a month, it's nest just to skip out on them, I made a huge mess once from doing that. :P
