When I say "approaching music more as science than art", I am meaning to say that I have a much easier time comprehending and appreciating aspects of music than have a certain degree of measurability. Making transcriptions or arrangements comes easily because there's a relative sense of measurability, of how well one captured or expounded on the original as well as how playable it is on the given instrument. It's not an exact science perse, but it's still somewhat measurable.

When it comes to the tones of different keys though, in my case, it's like asking whether I'd like to eat ice cream in a bowl or in a cup. Sure, the presentation is slightly different, but the ice cream is still the same.

I like that example.

I like that example.

Second that

You'll see in time grasshopper. The ice cream has many flavors, inherently composed by the chefs of the world. It's up to the musical performer to decide how to present it, be a bowl, cup, or a cone. 
Chocolate will always be different from vanilla, as will all the keys be inherently different as each start on a different pitch. If you get a chance to, try to develop relative hearing. You'll begin to realize what hits your core and what resonates with you.

Couldn't have said it better myself!

Pumpy sure is good with words.

Just because you can't sense that the flavor of the ice cream is in fact changed entirely and not just the vessel it's contained in, doesn't mean that the flavor/texture whatever isn't changed. If you get what I'm saying. Because I don't. These analogies confuse me

What happened to Bb? Not common? I like that key the most. A lot of beautiful songs are written in Bb major.

[JDMEK5]

I ran out of options on the poll. That would've been next.

But yeah, Bb is extremely common. Especially for jazz and orchestral works.
(Might have something to do with the fact that a lot of instruments such as trumpets clarinets are usually in Bb)

[universe-X]

C# minor- much easier to remember songs in this key for me.

[JDMEK5]

Yeah, that's really nice. My favorite in C# minor is the third movement of the famous Moonlight Sonata by Beethoven.

[universe-X]

^lol, that's one of the songs I memorized.

And the Revolutionary Etude, originally by Chopin, transcribed for left hand by Godowsky.

[SlowPokemon]

Moonlight Sonata is fun but it's too overplayed -_o everyone should learn it though

C#minor is best - Lily's Theme from the last Harry Potter theme
