The things been said are good as a "technical" solutions, but the "feeling" of a Bb and a Gm piece is most of the times very clear to identificate. like a painting named "Painting with Red", "Painting with Yellow", "Picture in dark colors".Įven with the existence of tons of pieces with that kind of title and many of those are good, very good, extremly good. In my very personal opinion, I don't like those titles like "Symphony in Eb" or "Prelude in Dm" even "Melody in F". Many songs have the chorus in Major and the verses in relative minor you may not change the key signature but change the tonality. The first movements of Bach’s Partita No.1, and Schubert’s final piano sonata share this openness and nobility. Open and expressive, it’s regarded as an uplifting key, full of hope and aspiration. If your sonata uses classcal harmony it won't be problems to determinate the key, post the score or a midi and we'll tell you. There’s a special nobility to B-flat Major. B flat major is a scale based on Bb, consisting of the pitches Bb C, D, Eb, F, G, A, and Bb. I.e "Milky - Just The Way You Are" it's in Cm but is all Ab Bb G, Ab Bb G,

There are pieces (mostly pop songs) that never pass through the tonic. The names of major keys using flats in the key signature follow the descending circle of fifths: C F Bb Eb Ab Db Gb Cb.

The D major could be the best indicator in a common harmony sonata.
