Keys

Every major and minor key with its signature, its relative and its chords. Ordered by signature, as in the circle of fifths.

Two keys always share the same signature: one major and one minor, the relatives. Which of them is meant is told not by the signature but by the note the piece comes to rest on.

The same as a wheel: the circle of fifths
