In the 20th century, composers such as Bartók and Rzewski (see below) began experimenting with unusual key signatures that departed from the standard order. Because of the limitations of the traditional highland bagpipe scale, key signatures are often omitted from written pipe music, which otherwise would be written with two sharps, the usual F and C.

"Much music since at least the 18th century, however, exploits enharmonic equivalence for purposes of modulation and this requires that enharmonic equivalents in fact be equivalent." Some key signatures have an enharmonic equivalent that represents a scale identical in sound but spelled differently.

Musicians and composers use the circle of fifths to understand and describe the musical relationships among some selection of those pitches.

At the top of the circle, the key of C Major has no sharps or flats.

Similarly, proceeding counterclockwise from the apex by descending fifths,

A way to describe this phenomenon is that, for any major key [e.g. G major, with one sharp (F#) in its diatonic scale], a scale can be built beginning on the sixth (VI) degree (relative minor key, in this case, E) containing the same notes, but from E–E as opposed to G–G. Or, G-major scale (G–A–B–C–D–E–F#–G) is enharmonic (harmonically equivalent) to the e-minor scale (E–F#–G–A–B–C–D–E).

An equal-tempered scale of G major comprises the same pitches as the A major scale, so that the two scales sound exactly the same;

Theoretical key In music theory, a theoretical key or impossible key is a key whose key signature has at least one double-flat or double-sharp. Double-flats and double-sharps are often used as accidentals, but placing them in the key signature (in music that uses equal temperament) makes the music generally impractical to read. For example, the key of G major is a key of this type, because its corresponding key signature has an F (on its leading-tone). An equal-tempered scale of G major comprises the same pitches as the A major scale,

A piece in C that performs this modulation would lead to the theoretical key of G major, requiring eight sharps, meaning an F in place of the F already present. To write that passage with a new key signature would require recasting the new section using the enharmonically equivalent key signature of A major. An example of such recasting is Claude Debussy's "Suite bergamasque": in the third movement "Clair de lune" the key shifts for a few measures from D major to D minor (eight flats),

Simultaneously, Adams' desire to move away from the conventional techniques of minimalism is noticeable. The composition is set in the Phrygian mode, and cycles through half the keys throughout its roughly 10 minute duration, starting in A Lydian (four sharps), followed by A Phrygian (one flat), then E Lydian (five sharps) and E Phrygian (no flats), etc. In this way, the piece shifts following the circle of fifths, alternating between the Lydian and Phrygian mode of each key. As claimed by Adams, it is "in the form

Although F major is usually notated as its enharmonic equivalent of E major, because E major has four sharps only as opposed to F major's eight flats (including the B), part of Richard Strauss' "Metamorphosen" uses F major, which one commentator has called "a bitter enharmonic parody" of the earlier manifestations of E major in the piece. Beethoven also used F major in his Piano Sonata No. 31, Op. 110. In the first movement's exposition, the transitional passage between the first and second subjects consists of arpeggiated figuration beginning in A major and modulating to the dominant key

(The second appearance later in the movement of this same section, a semitone lower, in G minor, uses the correct key signature of two flats.) In principle, any piece can be written with any key signature, using accidentals to correct the pattern of whole and half steps. The purpose of the key signature is to minimize the number of such accidentals required to notate the music. The sequence of sharps or flats in key signatures is generally rigid in modern music notation. This allows musicians to identify the key simply by the number

The traditional oval notehead is used when a note is natural. If there is a key change in the middle of a piece, the new key signature is shown without naturals to ‘neutralise’ the previous key. The exception to this is where the key changes

neg: Key signature may consist of one or more sharps combined with one or more flats (such as a signature containing both F and B). Key signatures of this kind can be found in the music of Béla Bartók, for example. The effect of a key signature continues throughout a piece or movement, unless explicitly cancelled by another key signature. For example, if a five-sharp key signature is placed at the beginning of a piece, every A in the piece in any octave will be played as A sharp, unless preceded by an accidental (for instance, the A in scale 2 illustrated –

neg: Key signature the next-to-last note – is played as an A even though the A in the key signature (the last sharp sign) is written an octave lower). In a score containing more than one instrument, all the instruments are usually written with the same key signature. Exceptions include: The convention for the notation of key signatures follows the circle of fifths. Starting from C major (or equivalently A minor) which has no sharps or flats, successively raising the key by a fifth adds a sharp, going clockwise round the circle of fifths. The new sharp is placed on the new key's

neg: Key (music) "feel" the key created by the tuning of its intervals. Historical irregular musical temperaments usually have the narrowest fifths between the diatonic notes ("naturals") producing purer thirds, and wider fifths among the chromatic notes ("sharps and flats"). Each key then has a slightly different intonation, hence different keys have distinct characters. Such "key coloration" was an essential part of much eighteenth- and nineteenth-century music and was described in treatises of the period. For example, in tunings with a wolf fifth, the key on the lowest note of the fifth sounds dramatically different from other keys (and is often avoided). In

Some keys are more difficult to play in than others because of the increased attention that greater amounts of sharps and flats require.

Many musicians have been trained to play in a certain style, such as classical music, but in order to

neg: Simplified music notation Simplified music notation Simplified music notation is an alternative form of music notation designed to make sight-reading easier. It was proposed by Peter Hayes George (1927-2012). It is based on classical staff notation, but sharps and flats are incorporated into the shape of the note heads. Notes such as double sharps and double flats are written at the pitch at which they are actually played, but preceded by symbols called "history signs" to show that they have been transposed. The key signature and all other information in the original score is retained, but the player does not need to remember

neg: Tonicization to the V chord of a different key; specifically, a key named after the ii chord of the original tonic. This would usually resolve to the ii chord (of the original key). In this situation, the ii has been tonicized. For example, in a piece in the key of C major, the ii chord is D minor, because D is the second scale degree in a C major scale. The D is minor because to construct a triad over D using only the pitches available in the key of C major—i.e. no sharps, no flats—the triad must be minor—the individual

In a different tuning system (for example, 19 tone equal temperament), several keys do require a double-sharp or double-flat in the key signature, and no longer have conventional equivalents: where there are 19 tones in the scale, the key of B major (9 flats) is equivalent to A major (10 sharps). In 17 tone equal temperament and 31 tone equal temperament, keys that are enharmonic in a 12 tone system (for example, A♭ and

Thus in the key of C Major, the seventh note of the scale, B, would be the root note of a diminished triad (the notes B, D and F). In addition, extra chromatic notes may be added to any chord. Chromatic notes are notes that are not in the key. Returning to our example of a song in C Major, this is a key with no sharps or flats. The key of C Major is the "white notes" on
