I don't want to start a big argument about this, but I think a case
can be made that D, if not D major, is the key of this piece.
Obviously this is under a rather broad definition of tonal music, namely,
the one which distinguishes it from atonality and dodecaphony: That music
in which notes (or keys) have a heirarchy of importance, and in which just
one note or key is most important.

If pressed for more than a few details, however, I'll have to turn to
Greg Gadeholt for assistance - Greg, are you there?

Anyone see a topic for discussion here?
