I’m a bit curious; why are musicians so much against putting note names on their keyboards? It’s like having a computer keyboard with no letters marked on top.
- Schiphol 3y agoOne reason might be that music is (to some extent) translation invariant in a way text is not: you can play the very same music starting from anything from C to B. Those 12 versions will sound different but not that different. Note names might be distracting when you are focusing on that abstract structure?
