As such, the pieces I highlight in this article are for me, dark and in minor keys. All these factors can greatly alter or influence how we hear music. This is because not only the key of a piece determines how we hear it but the tempo, the rhythms, the instrumentation and not least, the performance. It was a way of helping me and other students distinguish between these two types of key and chord that to an extent works, but presents a limited view of tonality. As a young musician, I distinctly recall being told by my teacher that the major keys are happy and the minor ones are sad.
