Talk:Closely related key

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] More or less

I think it is time for this page to reflect that keys are more or less closely related, depending upon their number of common tones, and not close or not depending on a specific number of common tones. Hyacinth 22:15, 26 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Agree; quick and dirty edit. Saved beginning section with the mention that that is the usage in elementary harmony, additions follow. Mindspillage (spill your mind?) 16:23, 28 Jan 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Closely related key to minor

The table seems to show only the closely-related keys to major keys. Or did you mean to imply that the closely-related keys to the relative minor are the same? Also, the Gb(F#) notation is really confusing -- you don't really have to list every possible key, do you? --Wahoofive 22:09, 21 Mar 2005 (UTC)

[edit] # of pitches

Might not a key be more closely related to one key with which it shares less pitches than another key with which it shares more but less important pitches? Hyacinth (talk) 05:19, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

For example...? —Wahoofive (talk) 22:48, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

Aren't there other ways keys may be related besides through number of pitches? Hyacinth (talk) 23:47, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
