<br>
In a previous post a colleague broached the subtopic of the F#-Gb
enharmonic, though I'm afraid I no longer have that email. But I
do want to point out the enharmonic shift at mm. 76-77 of
_Nuages_. I feel sure that Debussy notated the passage in this way
for its subtle shift of pitch-color, rather than as a grammatical
avoidance of F##. Going further, it might prove an interesting
experience to hear the orchestral strings accompany the hapless
Cio Cio San in F# rather than Gb. <br>
<br>
In all, a fascinating discussion.<br>

The recently produced list of instrumental music in F# major was
such a success that I promised myself that as soon as school was
finished I would see about its enharmonic equivalent. Here is what
I have come up with so far. With your help we can produce a more
definitive list. That inlcudes the anonymous members of our
society as well. They can write me a personal note that I promise
not to share with the Theory Police.

<div>Once again I apologize to lovers of vocal music. They are
welcome to make their own list.
