message: The Key of E-flat Major: 3 flats ( used in music)--81.159.2.60 (talk) 10:28, 5 March 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: The mood Mozart tended to associate with E flat major he later associated with C major, or something like that (quoting Girdlestone's perceptive book on the piano concertos I think)- and yes to some of that, the classical composers did have an ear for keys, which weren't neutral, perhaps because equal temperament was still new?... The same author notes that Mozart's works in E flat as a family contains some very- again- neutral relatives, some outstanding ones (the 9th piano concerto, the Kegelstatt clarinet-trio, the quartet K428 and piano quartet K493 (here I disagree with the author of that book it's true), the K563 trio divertimento - I must mention that one and how can I not..., the 39th symphony I agree) whereas some keys he used more rarely but almost never neutrally (A major- the string quartet in A, the piano concertos 12 and 23 especially the latter...) Excellence for E flat in Mozart anyway I'm not sure I agree, but there are some excellent examples... Schissel | Sound the Note! 03:39, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

message: User:Wahoofive revealed that Bach wrote a piece in E-flat with only 2 flats in the key signature. Why did he use only 2 flats?? Georgia guy 13:35, 5 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: In passages where the piece modulates into C minor, the A-flat would usually need to be raised to A-natural. 23191Pa (chat me!) 02:13, 21 December 2009 (UTC)

message: 30-May-2007: In 2006/2007, Wikipedia images required both attributes "thumb|250px" to show a caption, as in:
::: 
By itself, size "250px" ignores the caption "My picture" (confusing many people), which is considered bad form in computer languages (should warn & be corrected rather than ignore).  Just remember to include "thumb" (or "frame") for a caption in an image-link.
Image hints in 2007:
* Limit most images to "thumb|300px" to avoid crowded text-wrapping.
* A small image followed directly by a big image often chops text.
* To resize larger than the original ("oversizing"), omit "thumb" (oversized images cannot have captions in 2007, yet).
* Beware "left|thumb" (for "right|"), because left-side images appear immediately to left of the text.
* Most images (99.99%) should be quick JPEG for rapid display.
* Avoid resizing PNG images (2007): might become 10x larger resized.
Overall, omitting "thumb" is the most common problem.
There are many formatting issues in the Wiki software (used worldwide), with a long list of problems to fix, but in the software world, many errors often persist, only to be upstaged by a totally radical new software version, rather than just fixing the irritating problems fast.  Note that numerous software systems (not just Wiki) have frustrating issues for years. -Wikid77 16:29, 30 May 2007 (UTC)

message: Is it true that the key of E-flat is the most, or one of the most comfortable keys to sing in? --202.179.74.242 (talk) 19:20, 14 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm not a singer: but I would think that would depend entirely on the range of the vocal part, and not really have anything to do with what key it was in. M.J.E. (talk) 17:41, 13 September 2008 (UTC)

replies: text: Don't tell me you can sleep through Beethoven's Eroica Symphony. String arrangements of Brahms's Lullaby are in D major, but I can see why E-flat major would be better for woodwinds or brass. Anton Mravcek (talk) 22:43, 2 September 2008 (UTC)

message: Tenor Tubas are called Euphoniums and are in Bb (and sometimes rarely in C). Bb and C horns are called Contrabass and Eb and F are called bass horns.  I have yet to see an tuba part written in the key of E-flat, it might exist but it is not common.

message: On a computer, the <score> (see source of page - it's the scale with the gray rectangle at the top of the screen) doesn't format correctly.
If I unmaximize my window to a half screen the <score> is too long and appears under the infobox, creating a bunch of whitespace. https://imgur.com/a/TuvWlot
Not only that, the gray rectangle is not aligned with the E-flat major scale horizontally.
The top of the gray rectangle matches with the top of the treble clef (symbol at start) but the gray rectangle is not tall enough and only reaches halfway down the staff (5 lines). See picture link.
I don't know how the formatting works.  AltoStev Talk 15:20, 27 March 2020 (UTC)
