Never thought of it. I'll have to do a comparison to find out. Right now, I am listening to Schumann's cello concerto in A minor, and thoroughly enjoying it.
Tchaikovsky's Symphony in B minor 'Pathetique' , is one of the all time greatest compositions. Actually, his other two good symphonies, Nos. 4 and 5 are also in minor keys. Nevertheless, his violin concerto, my favorite violin concerto of all time is D major.
My favorite Mozart symphony, No. 40 is in G minor.
I wonder if jazz is mostly in minor keys. I love jazz.
I love all of those pieces, especially the Tchaikovsky, which I was listening to yesterday along with the Mozart! As for jazz, I know that some compositions are in minor keys, but I was in Jazz Band in high school and most of the pieces we played were in major keys.
