February 26, 200917 yr Would anyone happen to know a web sight containing the symbolism pertaining to various key signatures throughout the ages, such as Mozart using the key of G minor (I believe) to symbolize death. And other key signatures that might have been used to symbolize other means of expression for emotion. Thank You.
February 26, 200917 yr Emotion and Meaning in Music - Google Book Search Emotion and Meaning in Music By Leonard B. Meyer Google Scholar, Google Books, are your friends. Hopefully it links to page 1.
February 26, 200917 yr Don't know if this is quite what you're looking for, but I found it interesting: you can check out Characteristics of Musical Keys.
February 27, 200917 yr Can someone explain to me how the key of G minor symbolises death (or whatever it symbolises)?
February 27, 200917 yr G minor is irascible and short-tempered to me. A major: This key includes declarations of innocent love, (...) hope of seeing one's beloved again when parting; (...) Wow! I wondered why my love scene was in A major. :P
