As an offshoot from Aaaagh thread, I have always liked the challenge for playing in 5,6,7 sharps/flat keys.
Once you do sort out the notes, its no different from any other key, but some people just shy away from those keys. Having said that I always have some trouble with G#minor for some reason , the others dont faze me. What does everone else think ? |

I don't think I'm too bothered by how many sharps and flats there are in the key signature. What threw me once was when I had learned number 3 from WTC book 1, in C sharp major. My then piano teacher suggested that I try playing from his Orlando Morgan edition, which had number 3 in D flat major. He thought it was much easier in D flat (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)
