Talk:F sharp major
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
- For keyboard players, F# major can be regarded as a remote key relative to the "natural" key of C for keyboard instruments.
Perhaps a discussion of the concept of a remote key is appropriate here? -- Karada 21:26, 18 February 2006 (UTC)
- F# major is remote from C major because it is on the other side of the circle of fifths. My problem with the line above is that piano players are taught fingering for all 24 major and minor keys (or at least I was). Sure, the keys on the "northern hemisphere" on the circle of fifths are used more often, but no halfway decent pianist can complain that a key is too "remote" for him the way a wind player has the right to.

Maybe some talk about how this key was used by Liszt to evoke heaven? Or how Beethoven's favorite sonata was in this key?
