The Broken Bow

Self-penned tune celebrating the incident when my bow didn;t exactly break, more the little mother of pearl slide fell out :-(

So here it is! I think I'm obsessed with B minor, when I can, I'll try and write a tune in a key other than B minor!

Cool tune! And congratulations on not quite breaking your bow.
I think your next tune should be in B# ionian.

B# ionian!?!?!?!?!

What notes are in that scale then Mr. Joe?

Does it even exist? :-P

... otherwise known a C major.

C major is bland, but yeah ok then i'll do it...and B sharp should never, IMHO, be regarded as C...it's the sodding pianos that messed that up! Same as they did when they regarded B flat as being the same as A sharp when in fact B falt is flatter than A sharp and A sharp is sharper than B flat!!!

I know, I know... equal temperament will be the ruin of us all.
Surely it's the other way round, though? Bb is ever so slightly sharper than A#?
I need to read up on this.

Yeah it's what Joe said. I love diminished seconds. They are so exciting! :-) My school has just blocked facebook - the mustard board will be next...

But it's very cool to call C B#...and to call G F## (no double sharp symbol on my keyboard). Adds a bit of interest after all...

This is a really good tune DJF. Thanks for posting it.

I know what you mean about B minor!
