	Franz Schubert
		In 1824 he tumed to instrumental forms, producing the a Minor and d Minor ('Death and the Maiden') string quartets and the lyrically expansive Octet for wind and strings; around this time he at least sketched, probably at Gmunden in summer 1825, the 'Great' C Major Symphony.
		The virtuoso 'Wanderer' Fantasy is equally impressive in its structure and use of cyclic form, while the String Quartet in G Major explores striking new sononties and by extension an emotional range of a violence new to the medium.
		He uses harmony to represent emotional change (passing from minor to major, magically shifting to a 3rd-related key, tenuously resolving a diminished 7th, inflecting a final strophe to press home its climax) and accompaniment figuration to illustrate poetic images (moving water, shimmering stars, a church bell).

	Songs in A Minor - Alicia Keys - Review - Surely that's a fake name?
		Songs in A Minor was Alicia Key's debut album, released in 2001 when she was just 20 years old.
		Her voice on this song is superb, which is why she won a grammy for it, and the gospel-style backing vocals are also fantastic.
		Butterflyz is a song she wrote when she was just 14, which shows what a prodigious talent she was, for the lyrics and the rolling piano are brilliant.

		Songs in A Minor is a good album, but it's highly overrated.
		While some people consider a 10 or 11 song album to be too short, it's better than having a 15 song album that never seems to end because the artist's ego had to get in the way.
		Songs In A Minor might be one of the more over-rated albums of the year, but it's still not bad at all.

		Somebody mentioned Angie -- well, the key signature of that song is A minor, but it modulates to C major during the second part of the verse 'All those dreams we held so close / seem to all go up in smoke' before coming back to the minor at the end.
		The key signature of a minor scale is the same as that of its relative major scale a minor 3rd above.
		The same pesky musicologist I quoted earlier says that the oldest song in the world is based not only a diatonic scale, but a major scale at that.

		Though many of the tracks on Songs in A Minor are embellished with adolescent angst, this 20-year-old's substantial, gorgeously soul-drenched alto putties the cracks between notes with astonishing ease.
		The minor chords on "Butterflyz" makes it immediately sorrowful and appealing, and is easily the best track on the album (and it seems free of drum programming and electronics, which is a huge plus).
		These songs aer no different from other r&b artists, she was just marketed as a piano player and all that.

	Alicia Keys - Songs In A Minor
		It appears now that she is getting a lot of hype and I believe that she has talent as a new artist but there are some songs on the CD that don't reach the same credibility as some of the other singles.
		I believe that Songs In A Minor is truly reflective of Alicia Keys.
		Although I wasn't really feeling the song Trouble, I do believe that as a whole this CD is very good and look forward to hearing more songs from Alicia Keys as she grows and develops her style.

		And at 20 years she's incredibly soulful, harking back to the old-skool RandB of Aretha Franklin and even further to that of Nina Simone, with a very strong dose of James Brown thrown in (the fantastic "Fallin'" is a dead ringer for "It's a Man's World").
		Only three out the twelve songs are actually in the key of A minor and not one of them a hit single.
		Her album "Songs in A Minor" shows her amazing vocal skills and her brilliant gift of playing the piano.

	RTE.ie Entertainment - Alicia Keys - Songs in A Minor
		With her debut currently lodged at the top of the US album charts, 20-year-old New Yorker Alicia Keys is the latest to wear the sassy diva crown.
		Keys has been playing the piano since single figures and writing songs since 13, and despite the presence of eight other writers her standalone talent really shines thorough on 'Songs...'.
		Granted it's 20 minutes too long and the production is way too clinical, but her cover of the Prince B-side 'Why Don't You Call Me' is sublime, she has the R 'n' B track the year in 'Girlfriend' and both 'Butteflyz' and 'Caged Bird' show she can do down-in-the-dumps with best of them.

	All Things Deep - Reviews - Alicia Keys: Songs In A Minor
		Alicia Keys shocked the world when her album Songs In A Minor, debuted atop the pop charts, helping J Records sustain the most successful label launch in history.
		Elsewhere, she talks about the possibility of having to fight a rival for a lover ("Jane Doe") and enlists the services of Isaac Hayes for "Rock Wit U," which should qualify as a bite of "Joy" even if he is the song's producer.
		Given her indulgent tendencies, no big surprise that she tackles another egocentric keyboardist, Prince, on her cover of "How Come You Don't Call Me Anymore." Like most covers, it does not improve on the original, but as a statement from one self-defined genius to another, it's priceless.

		The pieces are easier than the true songs and they are not even in A minor.
		All in all, I was pleased with the result, the songs are well written and they do indeed sound like the original recording, especially Fallin' which sounds great.
		So they're no longer "Songs In A Minor" more like "Songs In C Major" But aside from that, they sound just like Alicia plays 'em.

		She's already well on her way with 'Songs In A Minor.' The piano plays a prominent part in almost every track and her talent as a classically trained pianst is quite evident.

	Slant Magazine - Music Review: Alicia Keys: Songs In A Minor
		If there is, Alicia Keys is vying for the spot with Songs In A Minor, her much-ballyhooed debut on Clive Davis's J Records.
		Co-written, arranged and produced by the 19-year-old, the album is a promising start for a talented young newcomer, mixing obvious influences with Keys's classical training and simple yet distinct approach.
		The album's breakthrough single, the gospel-tinged "Fallin'," starts out simply with measured piano and basic drum programming, eventually building to a crescendo of operatic proportions, while the touching "Butterflyz" features a restrained vocal that never permeates the track's tight arrangement.

	Alicia Keys: Songs In A Minor (2001): Reviews
		Though the second half slackens with sad sack teen themes, ''Songs'' is a debut full of promise.
		The mournful, blues-and-gospel-based "Fallin'"--a great song that was certainly no obvious choice as the first single--is the most notable declaration of independence, but Songs In A Minor is full of them.
		She is a very good talented girl, and listening her songs trasmit you all kind of feelings

		Keys displays impressive range on this primarily self-penned debut that finds her taking part in arranging and/or production on every cut, once again redeeming Davis's instincts.
