(“A major” (or the key of A) is a major scale based on A, with the pitches A, B, C, D, E, F, and G)

(its ‘key signature’ has three ‘sharps’)

(its ‘relative minor’ is ‘F-sharp minor’ and its ‘parallel minor’ is ‘A minor’)

(the key of ‘A major’ is the only key where a ‘Neapolitan sixth chord’ on 2^{\hat {2}} requires both a flat and a natural accidental.

In the treble, alto, and bass clefs, the G in the key signature is placed higher than C. However, in the tenor clef, it would require a ledger line and so G is placed lower than C.

Although not as rare in the symphonic literature as sharper keys, examples of symphonies in A major are not as numerous as for D major or G major. Beethoven’s Symphony No. 7, Bruckner’s Symphony No. 6 and Mendelssohn’s Symphony No. 4 comprise a nearly complete list of symphonies in this key in the Romantic era. Mozart’s Clarinet Concerto and Clarinet Quintet are both in A major, and generally Mozart was more likely to use clarinets in A major than in any other key besides E-flat major.[1] Moreover, the climax part of Tchaikovsky’s Violin Concerto (Tchaikovsky) is also A major.

A major is often thought of as the simplest key for violin and other orchestra instruments and beginning violin students’ first pieces are usually simple ones in this key.[citation needed]

A major occurs frequently in chamber music. Franz Schubert’s Piano Quintet known as the Trout Quintet and Antonín Dvořák’s Piano Quintet No. 2are 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]

According to Christian Friedrich Daniel Schubart, A major is a key suitable for “declarations of innocent love, … hope of seeing one’s beloved again when parting; youthful cheerfulness and trust in God.”[3]

Ascending and descending A major scale About this sound Play in just intonation .

For orchestral works in A major, the timpani are typically set to A and E a fifth apart, rather than a fourth apart as for most other keys.

(‘hector berlioz’ complained about the custom of his day in which ‘timpani’ tuned to ‘A’ and ‘E’ a fifth apart were notated ‘C’ and ‘G’ a fourth apart, a custom which survived as late as the music of ‘franz berwald’)
