Aug 27, 2018 at 2:20 comment added Allegro Master Oh, I know.... This time that those enharmonic keys are actually 6 sharps and 6 flats, that's really beautiful!!! Clementi chose F♯ for the prelude, and G♭ for the exercise! So far, G♭ major was preferred by Alkan, Rachmaninoff, Scriabin, Concone, Winding, and Shchedrin! And.... F♯ major was the most choice of Bach, Hummel, Chopin, Heller, Busoni, Lyapunov, Arensky, Blumenfeld, Ponce and Shostakovich, but it's more relaxed.

Aug 29, 2014 at 15:17 comment added LiberalArtist It is worth noting that enharmonic "equivalence" is not absolute — though it's more true for the piano than for anything. Enharmonic spelling can indicate different music-theory functions, and for string players, trombonists, and vocalists especially they often in fact have practical implications in performance.

Dec 7, 2011 at 2:27 comment added Andrew The usual, obvious suspects for such a key choice are not present in this piece as far as I can tell. Worthy of further investigation... I'm sure a scholarly analysis would address the topic, but I have not yet located one. I will keep looking.
