I LOVE Db.
I also like bb too. I have to say, I like flats better than sharps. Just because flats look cooler on paper.

I will definitely go for c#m, though I don't have a perfect or relative pitch *yet*, I find it the most suitable for the hand, also, it was the first I learned after C major , A minor and G major... BUT, I totally hate E major, I don't really like how it sounds
It has to be 'cause i really prefer minor keys and those with sharps...

What about peoples' least favorite keys?
I find f minor intriguing, but my stomach drops when I have to play in it. I find it so damn awkward!

I'm weird, but I'm a sharpie all the way. I love me some D, A, E, and I'm the only piano player I know who goes yay when the banjo player hollers, "Kick it off in B", unless I'm playing the autoharp, then I'll cry. I did get a laugh out of the people who said that you don't hear a lot of music in B because I play bluegrass, and bluegrassers love them some B major. And don't forget about G, especially when the guitar player hits the ever popular "G run". Dang, now I want to play. Sorry for all the bluegrass love on a classical board.

I like all the keys
They all have their own colour
I guess if I had to pick a key I like the least, maybe F major. No offense to F major. I said IF I had to pick a least favourite key.
Great composers make any key sound good to me.
Oh and I would hate it if all the pieces that I'm learning were in the same key! I like variety!

Not for scales though! For scales I like B major and E major... for chords/ arpeggios, whenever the mediant is a black key and 1 and 5 are white keys.
I struggle with C major (all those white keys, UGH!) and F sharp minor.

I choose d minor, but if I had to choose another I would probably say a sharp minor because of it's unique texture.

I like D minor but I also like the diminished half whole scale, cromatic scale and the whole tone scale.

My soul might be naturally tuned in a key that doesn't exist, it's very dark, but has a phenomenal glowing light to it, and the closest would be B flat minor. Rach's last Prelude, 2nd part comes very close to it, where it goes to A Major. I am convinced that he intended to think it as B

Major. That's close.
