>> If I remember correctly, I read in Richard Taesch's Braille music course that, at its core, the Braille music code is based on the solfege scale. In this case, Ella's theory would make sense—that is, d represents middle C in the C major scale because middle C is always "do" in the solfege system. However, as we all know, solfege varies depending on the key. D is "do" in D major, C is "so" in F major, etc. Yet, no matter the key, the note symbols remain consistent. I've always wished the note symbols in Braille music would correspond with their literary counterparts, as I think the present system is very confusing to new readers, even if they are experienced in reading Braille. But whatever the reason, that's the way it's always been, and I don't expect that it will change anytime soon. Incidentally, a friend of mine suspects that Louis Braille, a Frenchman through and through, simply had a little too much wine the night he wrote the rules for Braille music. So I suppose we can throw that theory into the mix if we're only speculating. LOL!
