    I know that certain composers are attracted to different keys
    Beethoven loved Cm and E-flat as many of his famous works show.
    Mozart's favorite pathos key was Gm I have read.

    I'm sure modern composers also have favorite keys for whatever
    reason. As far as an effect on a person, that would certainly
    be up to the individual I would think. Who knows? Is it psy-
    cological or perhaps to do with the actual physical dimensions
    of an individual's ear?
