Once again ^^
Ok so I posted this question yesterday and I deleted it cause I was like: Is that a stupid question?
Polonaise ''in A flat'' for example.
What does the 'in A flat', or 'in G major' or whatever: what does that mean ^^
Thanks

It's just an example ^^ I wanna what that's mean. If your song is in A flat, for example, what does that do?

Re: Once again ^^
In A flat would mean the main theme of the piece, or the home key of the piece is based off the A flat major scale. ^_^
The piece can still modulate to different keys, for example the middle section in the polonaise in A flat actually gets changed into E major. but nothing can stop the impending and triumphant return back to the home key of the piece which would be A flat major in this case.
Anyway the general idea is, that the title is informing you that the whole piece is based around that certain key. I hope that helps ^_^

Yes, and I answerd, but it didnt post since you deleted. But Andrew said it better than me. I used tons of exampels and made somthing actually easy, very hard I think. But tu fully understand, you must know the scales and some basiv theory.
And btw - Ask any question you want. We arnt here to judge, but to help

Re: Once again ^^
one interesting thing is that very often composers did NOT call their pieces "sonata in A minor" or whatever... the key was often added by publishers. As a struggling pianist myself I just wish there were more pieces in C major
