<div>Some keys just have not been that popular. I challenge the gang to come up with standard repertoire pieces that are in F# major aside from a death-defying symphony by Mahler, a nocturne and barcarolle by Chopin, a romance by Schumann, and a sonata by Scriabin
and Scarlatti, and a book called <i>Anthology of Horror in F-sharp Major</i> by Rene David Rivero. And, yes, I didn’t forget the WTC which stands alone in the history of music for way too many reasons and may prove that Bach was an extra-terrestrial.
