Franz Schubert's Trout Quintet and Antonín Dvořák's Piano Quintet No. 2 are both in A major. Johannes Brahms, César Franck, and Gabriel Fauré wrote violin sonatas in A major. In connection to Beethoven's Kreutzer Sonata, Peter Cropper said that A major "is the fullest sounding key for the violin." [2]

In diatonic harmony, the half-diminished seventh chord occurs naturally on the seventh scale degree of any major scale (for example, B ø 7 in C major) and is thus a leading-tone seventh chord in the major mode. [3] Similarly, the chord also occurs on the second degree of any natural minor scale (e.g., D ø 7 in C minor). It has been described ...
These 24 Preludes are based on a seven-note scale consisting of the six notes of the whole–tone scale with the addition of the perfect fourth [254] The sequence includes preludes in D#, G# and A#, which are normally considered theoretical keys as their key signatures include double sharps. Michelle Gorrell [255]
The pattern of whole and half steps characteristic of a major scale. The intervals from the tonic (keynote) in an upward direction to the second, to the third, to the sixth, and to the seventh scale degrees of a major scale are called major. [1] A major scale is a diatonic scale. The sequence of intervals between the notes of a major scale is:
The diminished seventh chord is a four-note chord (a seventh chord) composed of a root note, together with a minor third, a diminished fifth, and a diminished seventh above the root: (1, ♭ 3, ♭ 5, 7). For example, the diminished seventh chord built on B, commonly written as B o 7, has pitches B-D-F-A ♭:
For instance, in the C major scale, G is the fifth note of the scale, and the seventh chord built on G is the dominant seventh chord, G 7 (shown above). In this chord, F is a minor seventh above G. In Roman numeral analysis, G 7 would be represented as V 7 in the key of C major.
The augmented major seventh chord is associated with the augmented scale [1] (see jazz scale and chord-scale system). This chord also comes from the third mode of both the harmonic minor and the melodic minor scales. For example, the third mode of the A melodic minor scale outlines an augmented major seventh chord, as shown below.
