Key Matters - Series 2 - D Major

In this second series of Key Matters, presenter Ivan Hewett explores the question of why certain musical keys have become associated with particular moods. For example, why is A major almost always employed by composers to write optimistic, even ecstatic music? And how has E minor become the key of choice for portraying menace and tragedy? Ivan ends this week of programmes by talking with violinist Daniel Hope about the majesty and glory of D major.
