Hi Stuart, If you mean C Major, it contains no accidentals, but I'm sure you know that.

If you had not responded, I am sure someone else would have Googled their way to finding the poem. I do hope you took my pedantry in the spirit it was intended. Thanks to Martin for his response on musical scales. I must, however, continue with my pedantry for just a moment longer by pointing out that whole-tone scales (such as the one beginning on C) also contain sharps. I'll stop now, I promise. Hi, Erminia. Let's try to meet again soon. Stuart
