Historically, classical composers felt that D minor was the most melancholy of the keys, suitable for lamentations, dirges and requiems. Spinal Tap’s Nigel Tufnel thought so too, choosing the key for his musical trilogy “Lick My Love Pump.” “I don’t know why,” he remarks in Rob Reiner’s 1984 film, This Is Spinal Tap, “but it makes people weep instantly.”

But do different keys really sound different?

That’s what Adam Neely wanted to know. He observed that, historically, composers have felt that the different keys convey unique emotional states. But even if they did, he conjectures, does that still hold up for modern music?

For example, he notes, 18th-century German composer Christian Friedrich Daniel Schubart wrote a musical treatise on the different keys in which he said Eb minor reflected “feelings of anxiety of all the soul’s deepest distress.” In this video, Adam explores this and many other questions about keys in his search to determine whether or not they have different emotional and musical meanings. He offers a historical perspective on tuning that explains how keys have lost some of their unique characteristics over time. So, he suggests, maybe there are differences between the keys in our modern tuning system, “it’s just that the differences are a little bit more subtle and maybe not as universal as you might think.” Or maybe it just comes down to something else unique to the individual instrument.

Take a look. It’s a fascinating perspective.

Is Windex safe on piano keys?

Windex has ammonia in it and that is a big NO-NO. Cory polish doesn't contain any silicone and safe for pianos.

Is this so or do you think he is misinformed. Thought I would run it by all of you to see if I can use Windex on my new Steingraeber.It sounds like a scarry thought!!

Greetings,

I think it would be a huge mistake to windex your piano. If there is silicone, windex isn't going to remove it. It might craze your piano finish, or you might begin to notice that there is a blue tint to it. Don't do it. Your piano will need nothing but a clean, soft, flannel cloth to stay like new.
