9) KEY OF TEMPERAMENT
Limitless modulation of the key became available only after the invention of equal temperament. When using a temperament other than equal temperament, care must be taken to choose the key signature to play in. For example, if the song to be played is written in D major, ‘D’ would be chosen as the temperament key.
