YES. I totally agree with Simon here! The master classical music composers (Bach, Beethoven, Chopin, etc) composed their music in 'specific' keys to evoke a given mood which just can't be matched if played in another key. When played in different keys, not only are the chord voicings (harmonies) altered, but the harmonic overtones themselves are changed as well, giving the sound a different flavor. - Scott
