Comments	"Just in practice, I can hear different keys. I was obsessed with G for a while. G is very bright, and very obvious. F# minor is very moody, and very subtle, yet it can be very eerie. E is just very powerful. Then you've got D, which is very spring-like. Plus, D is a very old chord, more of Renaissance chord. A minor is probably my favorite key right now. With E, I think it's a bit too basic sometimes." [a]
