Mine is C# Major. All 7 notes sharp.

Songs in G Major are generally the easiest for me to play on my violin. :D

There's something about F Major that I really like.

Fuck logic, that shit is boring, lame and does not always support my opinions.

Favorite Major: Gb/F#. Can be chipper or solemn, to my ears at least.
Favorite Minor: B or Bb. Both so different.

Favorite mode: Locrian. C locrian is nice.

Might as well do favorite set.
[026] and its inverse (046). Building those on D have resonated with me well.

Ab Major and its relative minor, Fm. Such beautiful keys.
And as a runner-up for favorite major key, Gb.

What about least favorite keys? Mine is C# minor. Too many overplayed classical pieces in that key xP
j/k about the above btw, if you can't tell. don't wanna anger anyone who might take it seriously

I like C# minor because it's the key of the beautiful "Lily's Theme," the main theme from the final Harry Potter film. Also the vocals in that song are by Joe Hisaishi's daughter. Which is AWESOME.

You do know that the key signature and the piece's actual key can be completely unrelated. The thread was asking for the latter  ;)

No, key signature should ALWAYS relate to key.

I often stick to Dm while improvising. It got that dark, mysterious sound to it

Hans Zimmer really likes Dminor. Main themes for Sherlock Holmes, Dark Knight, and Pirates are all in that key.

Nope.

I hate to quote wikipedia for this, but here you go.

Taking Bartok for an example, he hardly used key signatures in many of his solo piano works. In his 14 bagatelles for instance, only the first one had a key signature (two, actually). It doesn't mean the rest were in C or Am, and it doesn't mean they were atonal since Bartok didn't believe there was such a thing.

Also interesting since he's my favorite movie-composer (whatever happened to that topic)
