moonlight sonata....
and i believe B# is just C.... it's been almost 10 yrs now though since i was a music major...

[hugs.livejournal.com]

then why would it be written as a b#? why not just write it as a C?

I am so confused...

because they hate us....

i can't remember my 2nd yr theory, which kicked my (and everyone else's) ass.

i knew what you were going to play as soon as you said b sharp and ludwig... Sonata #14 in C Sharp Minor opus 272.

a "b sharp" is indeed c. the reasoning is the key signature. the song is in c# harmonic minor which would be c# d# e f# g# a b# c#. if the song were instead in "natural minor", it would have a b natural instead (natural scale of it's relative major, e major e f# g# a b c# d# e). there's also a third minor mode, "melodic minor" (it's a wierd one, so i won't list it). minor pieces can switch between the minor modes pretty freely. you might notice it ventures into "major" in a few areas too, that's music theory beyond livejournal tho... natural minor is usually less common than the others, mostly because of the difference of that one note. the #7 has greater pull back to 1 than 7 does.

in a scale you can't repeat notes, for example you cant't have c# d# e f# g# a c c#, there is no b it the scale, and how could you write both c natural AND c sharp in the key signature?

sharp and flat doesn't mean black key above or below, it means one "semitone" above or below, on a piano that's next nearest key, on a guitar the next nearest fret, etc.

hope that made sense. ;)

also, try audacity for recording. it should be able to do mp3 (mine uses lame), and can even do "multi-track" recordings. open source and cross platform.
