Sorry to both of y'all. - No disrespect meant, I just like to teach.

Musc explanation time:

Michigan: A# is the enharmonic spelling of B-flat. So yes, you're right. However, A# does not exist in the key of B-Flat which is the key of the piece if you look at the key signature. Sharps (#) do not exist in the flat (b) keys so you must use the enharmonic spellings.... unless we are writing jazz chords, but that's a whole different ball of wax.

Preacher: It can't be a C# in any way unless you go about it in a very unusal way. The piece is written for vivuzuela, which for all intensive purposes mimics a B-flat trumpet. Since the note written itself is a b-flat, it would transpose to a c natural as the sounding pitch, not c#. Even if the vivuzuela sounded in C, it would then be the actual written b-flat.

Hope that helps.... like anyone cares.... [Beer]



Ginsue: Do y'all actually wear the uniforms?! HAHAHA.

It's sort of a know-somebody-who-knows-somebody to get the kit to build the unifom. I can get someone in touch with you if you are interested.

Wasn't trying to bash you Sir, just explaining. Music is my "thing".

Not a problem, my friend. No offense taken. All in good fun. I fancy myself a musician... and a joker...!

You are absolutely correct! I was keeping it simple by noting that technically, Bb and A# are the same pitch. As a jazz musician myself, (previously a pianist, now a trombonist) I am familiar with a little jazz theory, but I'm sure you could school me any day. [Beer]

Wasn't trying to school you either Michigan... just simply reinforcing your knowledge that though both pitches are in fact the same, one doesn't exist in the other key.

Back to your regularly scheduled prgramming... with a side of veggies and an ice cold beverage...
