Music Theory Questions

Music Theory Questions

Though The Complete Musician (TCM) is a very thorough book, I still have many questions about music that still need to be answered. That is where this page comes in. Every time I have a question about music, I will post it here. If you know the answer please post it in the comments and I will be eternally grateful!

How do I determine if the key signature is ascending or descending based solely on a piece of sheet music?

What is the difference between tone and note?
refer to http://music.stackexchange.com/questions/3262/what-are-the-differences-between-tone-note-and-pitch

"When transposing by a fifth, use the circle of fifths to guide you"- Steven Laitz. But what does it mean to transpose by a fifth?

What is meant by the brackets around the natural on p18 of The Complete Musician?

What is the difference between pitch and register?

Can notes with accidentals and those without have the same pitch class? eg. E and E# or Fb and E
Do key signature accidentals affect the effects of other accidentals?

Are Gb and F# parallel major keys?

What is the difference between scale and mode?
