Thought which must pass through many a teachers mind
6 flats? 6 FLATS? How on earth can I, as a clarinettist, cope with rubbish like that? That's why we have clarinets in two different pitches, you know...
I can't see why anyone would moan about 6 flats!! Now, 6 sharps is something else.

I would prefer 6 sharps over 6 flats any day.
Strings players seem to prefer keys full of sharps, but as a recorder player I have to say, flats are marginally easier, especially on an F instrument: the voice flute, in D, is less problematic in the sharp direction, but the six flats would be mind-bendingly awkward.

No, six flats on your voice flute would be easy - just play it as G major with one sharp instead and you'll be in tune with the rest of the world

I had a deja-vu moment seeing this - since in my lesson I moaned about sight reading when it had 4 flats and a double sharp haha - I bet my teacher thought exactly the same thing!
What piece is this?

intellectually I know it all starts over, but my automatic pilot steering gear would seize up in horror
