Key

Is the song in B major or E major? I seriously can't tell. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 131.215.108.45 (talk) 20:20, 19 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The recording on Revolver is pitched in B major, but in my copy of The Beatles Fakebook, ISBN 0881887579, it is in C major. I must add that in recent Paul McCartney concerts, he performs the song in C major. Although I cannot find a clip of him doing so at the moment, here is a clip of McCartney performing the song in C major in a studio [1]

I would know that it is in C major in that performance because I have absolute pitch.

I hope this helps. Artvandelay 06:30, 2 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Don't know if anyone's still interested, but from what I've heard, the piano chords were recorded in C and the song was later slowed down to allow McCartney to sing in B. --202.71.137.18 (talk) 19:12, 19 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Alan Civil, who played the solo on French horn, is quoted in the article as saying that the song was "recorded in rather bad musical style, in that it was 'in the cracks', neither B-flat nor B-major". John Link (talk) 19:57, 18 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Dennis Brain

I reverted to the more detailed account of Dennis Brain's involvement; without it, it appears that Barry Miles was correct, but he was not. John Cardinal 22:54, 27 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Alan Civil's remark

I'm surprised that Alan Civil said the song was "recorded in rather bad musical style, in that it was 'in the cracks', neither B-flat nor B-major", because the key of the song has nothing to do with the style. John Link (talk) 19:48, 18 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
