Welcome to Classical Uncovered – a podcast designed to demystify corners of the classical music world.

All areas of human endeavor have their special terms which are normal and natural to those in the know. But for those unfamiliar with that language, it can appear strange or even alienating. Classical music is no different.

Over 10 episodes, classical music expert Graham Abbott breaks down the concepts and terms used in classical music, with the aim of helping you better understand and enjoy your music experiences.

In episode three, Graham continues his two-part deep dive into key, looking at the differences between major and minor keys.

Technical terms can be alienating when it comes to enjoying music. Musicians throw around terms like Sonata in D Major all the time. But what does that actually mean? Join Graham to find out.
