Just to get some perspective, how quickly do you give the answers to these questions? Is it automatic for you, or do you still have to figure them out taking some time, or even as I do, consult a list of the sharps and flats of each scale?
What's the benefit of knowing all this? Mind you, I am not questioning the benefit. I just want to know how it might be used in composition or elsewhere so that I can better take advantage of my newly acquired knowledge.
