Re: Re: Characteristics of certain keys - from a classical music perspective.
I have heard the same thing from classical performers. However don't forget
Hank William's "Kawliga" did the same thing in that it changed from a minor to a major key and really has an effect. It really gives a lift to the music.
Re: Re: Re: Characteristics of certain keys - from a classical music perspective.
Ed,
Agreed.
Also .. an additional observation ..
The thing with Kawliga is that it did not change
to a relative minor key, such as going from
"C" to "Am", but instead just changed to a minor
key (such as going from "C" to "Cm")
which is probably impossible to do on a
Cajun Accordion
i play in many keys, in the band repertoire
on the c accordion they would be
C
G
F
A [really A7 - the band plays in A
but of course my 3rd and 7th are flatted,
a very bluesy key]
A minor
D minor
G minor
E minor
and most of them on both C and Bflat accordion
and some on G, Bflat or F rows of my 3 rows
so it makes for a lot of key variation
then i'm playing zydeco, it;s not quite
as stuck on the first and second positions
as cajun
