Difficulty in imagining something different doesn't, last time I checked, qualify as proof. ------------------------------------- I dont believe anyone said it did. And I think the lack of proof was my main point. There is some supporting evidence on the side of those who believe composers were influenced by tone colour... and there really isnt any on the other side of that fence.... but thats about as far as its goes. Cheers RicB David Love davidlovepianos@comcast.ne Hi Jason and others.. And given the fact that several such listings of key colour were circulating down through the years, and given also the passion musicians have for intellectualizing about there work (every bit the equal of pianotechnicians in every regard) you simply gotta figure these guys were definantly wrapped up in choosing keys to help them express what they were trying to <<say>> through their music. I have a real hard time imagining anything else personally... and I dont really understand the reasoning behind those who attempt to prove othewise. There isnt really any serious supporting evidence, and the move towards ET pianoes had natural enough explainations that are clearly independant. Been a while since all this was run around, always makes for interesting reading. Nice stuff Ed !
