    Beethoven and key signatures

    I once read that there was a key he didn't like- but I forget what it is now and cannot seem to find the info online. I know which was his favourite- that's easy to find!

    I'm not sure what he meant, but I think he referred to B minor as the "black" key.

      Ah that was the one Michael thanks! It had some sort of connotation back then- they associated key signatures with certain moods and colours I read.
      I am wondering if there is any correlation there, or if this is all completely arbitary. It is true though isn't it, that some key signatures do evoke certain emotions.

      Have you seen this?
