What's the difference between a G♭ and an F#? it's a shame the two highest voted answers only address the frequency distinction in certain temperaments and not the functional distinction |

How do I decide for how many keys I should go on my keyboard? not just "weighted" but simulated hammer action too. I can't play anything else :-) |

Identify this chord: F# (bass) + C + E + A @Rein yes, in a way this question and its answers and discussion have been a great demonstration of the inadequacies of traditional chord labeling |

Why are orchestras tuned differently? a higher frequency gives a brighter sound so I wonder if orchestras started to compete with each other as to who sounded brighter. |

Why are orchestras tuned differently? related bit of trivia: the French standard was 439 Hz (by law) but 440 Hz was much easier to produce in the lab (due to 440 being a composite number) |

Why are orchestras tuned differently? Here is a site purporting to list the tuning frequencies of many orchestras: members.aon.at/fnistl/index.html |

What is the importance of practicing scales on piano, and the proper fingering of them? in fact, I would say the majority of melodic fragments are either scale fragments or arpeggio fragments. |

When was the deceptive cadence introduced? I wasn't familiar with the term 'deceptive cadence' only 'interrupted cadence'. Now I see wikipedia also calls them 'ninja cadences' I know what I'm going to use from now on :-) |

What is this : Half notes combined with thirty-second stems? when I first read the question, I thought you were saying a half note followed by a 32nd note; but now I see you mean the head of a half note with the beaming of a thirty-second note. The accepted answer is correct; this is used for tremolos |

Identify this chord: F# (bass) + C + E + A @David bar 11; the melody is literally F# A C E; it's arguably a D9, though |

Identify this chord: F# (bass) + C + E + A I was going to mention The Entertainer but it's followed by the V in that context. The I #ivø7 IV is a little different. |

Ic-V-I perfect cadence progression SATB part writing rules roman numerals vs figured bass seems the "great divide" in harmonic descriptions. |

Identify this chord: F# (bass) + C + E + A there are a couple of ways this chord could be named; knowing the chord(s) that precedes and (especially) follows it would be useful in understanding the harmonic context. |
