Characters of major - minor tonalities

on: April 23, 2013, 06:29:41 PM

I've always thought about this.

F major - nature, sun.
D major - forests, peaceful mood of winter, peace.
D flat major - too happy, mature
E major - joyful

C minor - serious, but has a deep melancholy
G minor - psychological, depressive
D minor - sea, oceans, wind. Heroic.
C sharp minor - Not serious, just melancholic

D flat major I get the too happy, but mature is reserved for a flat major.
