Tuning Tunes

I usually play something in D flat.  Don't know why, but I love that key.  
Don't like C sharp much, though....:-)  I sometimes play Clair de Lune, other 
times I'll play Chopin's Berceuse, and when I'm in the mood I play a lullabye 
I wrote for my son when he was born.  It's a very warm key, and people always 
respond well.  

If it's a really responsive piano with quick repetition, I'll play a 
Scarlatti sonata with lots of repeated notes.
