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 ?

Thank you Maizie - I now have the utlimate in sight reading torture for any pupil who has annoyed me!
I wonder how long it will take them to realise what the tune is!!!

Yep, thanks from me too - never seen that before.

It's actually quite fun (in a twisted sort of way).

I have one very maths-y 15 year-old who'll proabably quite like that.

It's actually quite a good piece to show eo explain why we might say Ab sometimes and G# at others - the tune in seen to go up when actually it goes down, and vice versa!
