[Smt-talk] Pieces in F-sharp major

[Giorgio Sanguinetti]

Dear Collegues, 

May I add to this learned list the chorus "Va pensiero" from Giuseppe Verdi's Nabucco?

(I am always amused by the way theorists always choose to ignore opera. However, Va pensiero is a little bit more popular than Korngold's Symphony, isn't it? But it doesn't count...it's just opera).
