As this podcast is entitled 'Piano Key: A to G' I felt it about time to take a closer look at the individual musical keys. So: are the different pitch classes merely transposed versions of one another; or in fact, do they each possess inate tonal qualities/'colours', and deeper emotional associations?

Many notable composers are known to have preferred certain major and minor keys when writing, and it might be interesting to look at some specific examples, and consider why. I will also be examining my original output, to see what if anything it reveals about my own predilections.
