I've been really taking a liking to D major.
As I've stated before, I never really learn things in every key and worked for that kind of mastery - I have a lot of respect for that discipline though. The "Key" thing (pun intended) is a life long endeavor for keyboardists as every key has a different shape (black-white key combination) and its own fingerings. I've almost purposely kept each key in its own stage of development so every one is a very different world, maybe visually like planets in a solar system. Of course the drawback is lack of transpositional fluency - a great skill but one not needed so much in my professional experience.
My very slow but steady learning of a classical piece (the D Major section exclusively), and a popular folk song from the sixties that I played a lot recently has made me more keen to D Maj. This piece today is indicative of my passion for this key these days.
