Pretty basic music theory really.


Theory maybe, but just to get this clear in the actual real world.

I'm playing a musical score. It's supposed to be in Db minor - but represented in the key signature as all Sharps (because in 'basic music theory' you can do that)

I see a D note written on the stave. There is nothing in the key signature to tell me to play a Db (because there is no Db in the key signature, there is only a C# on the stave for the key signature). When I see a C I know to play a C#. When I see a D nothing tells me to play a Db. Why would a musician play a Db because the score shows a # for a C?

If the score showed it was in C#minor and used Sharps, all would be well. If it is in Db minor, it HAS to show where the Flats are. When you put it in practice, Flats aren't Sharps.
