What is your favorite key?

Oh man, lets make music playable only on isomorphic keyboards...

How many other types of music require certain types of instruments to be played? Of COURSE this is going to be the case. The only difference is that the instrument came as a product of the theory that describes the music.

I really don't know how many times you want me to explain to you why dynamic tonality is a waste of time.

Didn't I just make the point that your reference to that thread that focused on dynamic tonality was irrelevant to our current discussion because I am talking here about specifically isomorphic instruments, not necessarily there potential for invariance across tunings and their applications in dynamic tonality?

Me: I think isomorphic instruments are *A*

(I say what I think about isomorphic instruments)

You: Dynamic tonality is STUPID!!! X-D YAYYY.

(You attempt to counter these claims with an argument agaist dynamic tonality, which I specifically said is not necessary to discuss the simpler benefits of isomorphic instruments.)

It opens up no "avenues of compositional expression" that weren't already there. It has no practical application. It is a complete waste of time.

Oh, I forgot about all of the other applications that allow for both fingering invariance across tunings and consonance in those tunings...

It is NEW and allows for DIFFERENT forms of expression. You may still consider it a waste of time and I can't change that, but every time you try to say it isn't new, you are blatantly wrong.

#1: E minor- Simple to Improvise, Not overbearingly powerful

Runner Ups: G minor, D minor, and Eb Major

Overall, it's just to the key I always hum new tunes to myself.

And most of the times its in E Minor.

Lately, A Dorian has been a personal favorite (for some odd reason)...
