Complete Encyclopaedia of Music by John Weeks Moore A flat, major

Affrettando, affrettate→

A flat, major. A most lovely key. The major of A flat is unassuming, delicate, and tender ; and its relative, F minor, is penitential and gloomy. The most refined sentiments of our best authors have been expressed in this key.
