Jun 27	answered	What tempo is Agitato?
Jun 7	comment	What's so special about minor and major scales? Major and Minor are most common, but some composers don't state the mode, sometimes because the mode changes or the piece ends on a C - E - Eflat - G chord. The first movement of Joseph Jongen's Symphonie Concertante is an example of a piece written in Dorian mode.

May 31	comment	Alternative Numerical Representation of Pitch A better approach would be to abstract pitch class, tuning and enharmonic variations as three separate dimensions. Traditional notation has separate "dimensions" for diatonic pitch (vertical position on staff), accidental pitch modification (sharps and flats), note duration (note shape), position in time (note shape, rests, and horizontal position), overall loudness, single-note loudness (accents), musical phrasing, ornamentation, and separation of multiple parts (separate staves, or note stems up or down on one staff). (But it doesn't answer your question.)
