Maríanne Martínez's "Sinfonia in C Major" is a notable work from the Classical era, showcasing her talent as a composer during a time when female musicians often faced significant barriers. The symphony is characterized by its lively melodies, intricate orchestration, and adherence to classical forms. Martínez, who was a contemporary of more famous composers, has gained recognition for her contributions to the genre, highlighting the importance of diversity in classical music history. This work exemplifies her ability to blend elegance and emotional depth within the symphonic framework.

I would say between the 7th and the octave. Play a major scale but stop on the 7th............and wait. Doesn't it feel like it needs to be resolved?

Major keys tend to sound happier and minor keys tend to sound dark or sad. Major keys have different patterns than minor keys if you start on the first note of the scale and play up the scale.

I like to use C major because on a piano, you can start on a C and play up the scale without using any black keys...meaning it has no sharps or flats in the key signature.

If you play from C to C on the major scale then you will see that each step is either a half step or a whole step. No matter what note you start on, it will have that same pattern if it is a major key.

Now go down two white keys on the piano to the A. If you start there and play up the scale to the next A without playing any black keys on the piano, you will be playing a A natural minor scale. Your notice that it is very similar to the C major scale. It has the same key signature but starts and ends on a different note. As you play up the scale, notice that each step will be either a half step or a whole step. Every natural minor scale has the same combination of half and whole steps no matter what note you start on. Also, A minor is the relative minor of C major because they have the same key signature.

Try to think about a piano keyboard when thinking about music theory ideas. The great trumpet playing stated in his autobiography that everyone should learn the piano no matter what their primary instrument is.

When primitive man start trying to make melodies on whatever crude instrument he had, he probably played started with one pitch and worked his way up to five. It seems that the world over, the pentatonic scale is used. It probably is just a part of human nature. Humans seem to like the sound of the pentatonic scale the world over.

Who knows really how it was created. Nobody was there to report it in written form. Western music is the music that was first written down and by then we had the Church modes which is more advanced.

Blues is just a pentatonic with a flat five added and look how many folks love that.

The key of A-flat major contains four flats: B, E, A, and D.

It simply looks like an x.

Presumably, the pentatonic scale was first used in Eastern Asian regions during medieval period in history of music. Debussy and other Late Romantic composers were highly influenced of the scale.
