Key signatures, those essential markings at the beginning of a musical composition, indicate the specific collection of sharps or flats that follow. In this illustration, a close-up view of a treble clef, sharp signs, and a musical note on a stave, serves as a visual reminder of this musical concept. Harmonielehre (Theory of Harmony) by Arnold Schonberg delved deep into the understanding of key signatures and their role in music theory. From Italy, a glimpse into the past reveals the autograph score of Gaetano Donizetti's The Elixir of Love, with its distinctive key signatures, penned in Venice. Meanwhile, in Norway, the autograph score of Edvard Hagerup Grieg's Peer Gynt, also penned in Bergen, showcases the same musical notation. The world of opera extends to Italy once more, as we observe the characters Pantalon and Pandora from Nuova e curiosa scuola di danza teatrale (School of theatrical dance) in Venice, with their musical scores bearing key signatures. In Norway, another musical masterpiece, Grieg's first work, is displayed in Bergen, with its autograph score. A journey through music history continues with Claudio Monteverdi's Fugue for 5 voices from the Antologia Classica Musicale, penned in Cremona, Italy. The key signatures in this piece, as in all music, play a crucial role in establishing the harmonic framework. Lastly, the Autograph score of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's Symphony No. 38 in D major, also known as the Prague Symphony, penned in Prague, Czech Republic, showcases the power of key signatures in creating timeless musical masterpieces.
