Talk:A minor

message: There seems to be some disagreement as to whether A minor contains the note G or G-sharp.  As we all know, the natural minor has a G-natural, the harmonic minor has a G-sharp, and the melodic minor has both, depending whether it's ascending or descending.

message: Was there a time in which A minor was the usual key to play music in, thereby making A-B-C-D-E-F-G-A the obvious way to name the notes? DanBishop (talk) 07:34, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: That's a very good question. According to the booklet for the Eichhorn recording of Bruckner's Ninth, C major replaced D minor as the "primo tonus" of music. As far as I know, A minor has never been the "primo tonus." Dmetric 20:54, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

replies: text: The reader playing the piece on the piano is not verification because it requires them to be able to play the piano.  And even if they can play the piano, they may inadvertently transpose into another key.  However, the sheet music is a perfectly good source that's so obvious I don't think we need to explicitly list it.  Along similar lines, I've removed the 'Unreferencedsection' tag from the 'Well-known classical compositions in this key' section.  The score (and, in many cases, even the title!) is a perfectly good reference that the piece is in A minor.  I suppooooooose somebody could demand citations for the pieces being well-known but, hey, the composers are indubitably well-known and I don't think there's much room for argument on the individual pieces, either.

message: "Johann Joachim Quantz considered A minor, along with C minor, much more suitable for expressing "the sad affect" than other minor keys"
There seem to be statements like this in a lot of these key signature/scale pages.  However, the western tuning system has changed significantly since Johann Joachim Quantz and his contemporaries made these statements.  The keys that they describe do not sound the same anymore.  Can we either delete these or emphasize that they are no longer accurate, and describe the sound of keys in a historical tuning system?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.62.140.77 (talk) 14:38, 1 May 2013 (UTC)
