Fliessend, mit heiterem Schwunge (Helsinki Philharmonic Orchestra; John Storgårds, cond. ) In our earlier series on C major and minor G major and minor , and D major and minor , and A major and minor E major and minor , we listed Ernst Pauer’s suggestions from 1876 of pieces that fit the particular affect he assigned for a key. For the rest of the major and minor keys, he left us the attributes but not list of pieces.Pauer’s key characteristics for B major are that it is: “a key but seldom used, expresses in fortissimo boldness and pride; in pianissimo purity and the most perfect clearness.”As Pauer notes, there are relatively few pieces in B major. Chopin, however, loved B major because he considered one of the easiest scales to play since it uses all the black notes on a piano and falls well under the hand (conversely, he thought C major one of the most difficult to play evenly because of its lack of black notes).Haydn’s Symphony No. 46, written in 1772, in B major, was a highly unusual choice for a key since, given the developing state of the instruments of the day, it was going to be difficult for the instruments to stay in tune as he modulated into more and more remote keys. The final movement, however, seems to follow Pauer’s key definitions; listen here for how Haydn not only uses sound, but also how he uses the quick silences.No other well-known composer of Haydn’s time wrote a B major symphony, although more modern composers did venture that way, most notably Erich Korngold in his Sinfonietta, Op. 5, in 1912 and Shostakovich in his Symphony No. 2 from 1927.What pieces do you think should be added here? Keep in mind that the piece should date from before 1876, when Pauer’s book was published. Another guideline might be to note the relatively small list of composers he gave as examples: Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven, Mendelssohn, Schubert Rossini, Weber, and Spohr – all stalwarts of German classicism / romanticism.
The main reason that this key isn't used frequently is because it is enharmonically equivalent to the key of B, which only has 5 sharps instead of...

When you are getting started with playing the guitar, it’s incredible to find the sheer number of songs that you can learn to play right from the start. Since many songs utilize only 2 or 3 major chords, it is easy to pick up these songs when playing. A beginner guitarist should start with easy songs such as these. You’ll want to always continue learning more on the guitar as you go because with practice you will get better and better, but it’s good to have a starting point on finding some easy guitar songs when you begin your journey in learning. Whether it’s our NYC-based guitar lessons or online guitar lessons, most instructors can only show you so much, and you need to be willing to train yourself outside of the lessons as well.
