I don't think there is such a thing a 'sounds like a wrong note' It's either correct to the music or incorrect. The artist's choice to ALTER a written melody may just as well be extended to re-writing the lyrics. I believe that if one thinks they know better than the composer, then one should write one's own songs. One of the reasons that I've never attempted to. Of course it's all a matter of personal opinion and preferences, I prefer to respect the composer's thoughts as far as I can, to the extent of not taking the tempo or key too far away from the original ones conceived. Can you imagine Chopin's Opus 9 No. 2 in "G" ? BAsil [ Edited by: basilh 2008-01-15 21:32 ]
