After playing Bach's Prelude and Fugue in C-sharp major, I was wondering if there would be any versions of music that would enharmonically change the notes of a hard key signature. For example, in his Fugue, he has many D, E and F double sharps. Wouldn't it be much easier on the pianist if there was a version where D double sharp would be E natural and so on? I took almost a month to finally get all the notes right, so it would be much faster to learn and the end result, using the real key signature, wouldn't be much different.
Thanks in advance, 110.175.152.166 ( talk) 04:53, 18 November 2009 (UTC)
Thanks for all the replies, although I wasn't asking about the equal temperament it certainly made good reading. I asked this question because when I learn music with double sharps/sharps/double flats I write down the enharmonic notes. For example in Albeniz El Puerto I wrote under the notes 'D E Fsharp G" etc.
I have a supplementary question- like Bach in his Prelude and Fugue in E-flat minor, are there any composers who choose to change the key of their work to make it easier to play? (Bach changed from E-flat minor to D-sharp minor) 202.7.205.66 ( talk) 04:49, 19 November 2009 (UTC)
Hi,
I'm trying to trace the name and publisher of a ZX Spectrum computer game that I remember from childhood.
It was developed fairly late in the Spectrums life and basically involved piloting some kind of space craft. The screen was split horizontally with instrumentation along the bottom third of the screen and an outside view for the top two thirds. There may have been ticker messages displayed across the very top of the screen at various points.
I seem to remember the gameplay consisting of three main tasks. The first was piloting a space craft using a first-person view. Secondly you followed a wire-frame set of rectangles that marked a 3D route into orbit around a planet and lastly you began flying at low level over a planetary surface. Both the space and planet sections required you to avoid objects (and enemies maybe?).
The game had two features that I believe were unique at the time. Firstly, in one of the sections, you could see large 3D letters spinning in space. By flying through them you collected the letters and once all had been collected in a given level a word could be made which served as some sort of password or level key. Secondly, the text displayed in messages on screen and used when entering high scores was, very distinctively, a proportional font rather than the Spectrum's standard non-proportional one.
I may be running 2 or more games together into one amalgam memory here...
Any suggestions on what game (or games) I might be remembering would be gratefully appreciated.
Thanks everyone.

can 24 inch rims fit on a chrysler 300....and if so what needs to be done to make them fit?
What time signature is this song set too? Peter Greenwell ( talk) 23:28, 18 November 2009 (UTC)
