Rachel,

All of us who compose for any medium equate keys with different moods,
emotions, and sounds. Db is a very brown (dark) sound, Gb is a very
Maroon or rich sound but A is a very Yellow or Bright sound. We're not
picking on performers, practice these keys and so hear how differently
beautiful they can be
