majors and minors

hii..

sorry but i am very puzzled by this issue =x

is it true that majors are usually used for happier and cheerful songs while minors are used for sad and sorrowful songs? :?

 

USUALLY, yes. But you can have a very sad piece in major also.

 

Example of sad song in major: Liszt - Consolation no. 3
Example of happy song in minor: Liszt - Paganini Etude no. 3 "La Campanella" .

This is my opinion.

 

thanks dor the replies!
