    1. Why does some songs begins with the notes C-F ?

      Merrily abusing my piano with my horrifying lack of skill, I keep noticing songs beginning with the notes C-F: Moonlight Shadows Auld Lang Syne Es hatt ein Bauer ein junges Weib Der sad to katte...

      Merrily abusing my piano with my horrifying lack of skill, I keep noticing songs beginning with the notes C-F:

      • Moonlight Shadows
      • Auld Lang Syne
      • Es hatt ein Bauer ein junges Weib
      • Der sad to katte på et bord
      • Forest Green

      It sorta feels like the melody exists in the area around F, while C is used as kind of special effect. Are there some connection or tradition behind those C-F openings, or is it just me seeing patterns where there is none?
