Characteristics/feelings of musical keys


Wavves

Recommended Posts

I'm doing some theory here and there, and thought this was interesting.

http://www.biteyourownelbow.com/keychar.htm links to a website basically summarizing the feeling portrayed by each musical key. Wouldn't be surprised if some of you have seen this or something similar already just thought I'd share it.

 

Also I was wondering if anyone could tell me what key this song is in its one of my favorites, and I want to know which of the keys resonates with me the most. :D

Keep in mind those don't apply to equal temperament, where all key signatures feel the same, except for the difference in timbre depending on the instrument used (obviously, a standard tuning guitar, Eminor is going to sound completely different from D# minor).

 

Back when the intervals were different depending on the key you were in (before equal temperament was adopted), different keys had different feels - I guess that's what those articles you linked to talk about.
