Why would that not be written as B
18
Because then the alto and tenor saxophones and trumpets and clarinets as well as french horns would get buttfucked by even more sharps. This way those instruments have a slightly more enjoyable time playing in that key without reading a shitton of sharps.

You ever just have 9 sharps?

Yes, from his royal highness, daddy Arbans

Because it's easier for us to think about "one note down" than one note up. I'm talking about like high-school level kids. That's why in band we practice the flat side of the circle of fifths. The key of B has 5 sharps, which is far harder for some people to read than 7 flats.
5
I see you "circle of fourths'd" that, too?
4
Because no one likes/wants/knows how to read sharps :/

The best way to learn is to suffer try it
3
Lol I prefer sharps to flats
2
It's called transposing A trumpet music on a Bb trumpet
8
Bah, that's why Ut4 is for, right?!
3
I am confused. I don't know what ut4 is. Are you talking about the tuning slide?

Apparently in English it's called the Tenor Clef : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clef#Tenor_clef

I see, but no. The only problem different clefs can solve is when your music is far outside the clef and every note has around 5 helplines so the music is absolutely unreadable. It's a problem I don't have to deal with, but in return, I have to deal with transposing which is something you don't have to deal with.

Idk what instrument u playin (I’m assuming trombone or euphonium) but good luck sir/ma’am/insert they version of this

Proud trombonist getting out of requirement! :)

But it's just Cb major (or Ab minor)
If it was written as B major ( G# minor) thats another story.

all my homies hate sharps
4
i’d rather have 7 flats than 2 sharps, all my homies hate sharps. also B Major is bae
5
I did piano for 8 years and then did mallets in middle school so I am the god of all sharps and flats.

"La Gioconda" by Amilcar Ponchielli.
If that can bring some elements of understanding, this is a 1950's Spanish edition.
4
Screams in Alto saxophones dont understand flats
4
Just remember BEADGCF.
3
At that point its just every note is flat
2
Yep true.
1
Fuck that one rest after the fermata tho.
3
hahaha
1
Cb and Abm are both just... why couldn’t you transpose up a half step
3
I was about to say something but then I remembered I can only kind of read bass clef
3
Well that’s no fun
3
NO IT'S NOT :<
1
As a percussionist who’s middle school director didn’t focus too much on mallets, wouldn’t only 5 of the 7 be playable since there isn’t a C or F flat?
2
C flat is B natural, “flat” just means a half step down. 7 flats is technically the same as 2 sharps, idk why it’s written like this

Ok the first part helped a lot but the rest conversed me but thanks anyway
1
Oh no oh god oh no oh fuck
2
Waiter: “Which flat would you like sir?” Me: “I’ll take your entire stock”
That was pretty much the mood yes! :)
