says mr. "<>":

well, it gives _you_ more options, if you're better in the other key. um,
doesn't it?

and i've already addressed the 'original pitch'.

see my above, comrade.
this is gettin' kinda fuzzy, this one thinks...blurring physically playing an
instrument, and _what_ one hears when listening, and adjacently _how_ one
hears when listening...

and Master Theo drops a tuppence to RC:

<<Yeah, but that's a BIG option.  Try playing Cities on Flame in any key
other than F#!>>

to which mr "<>" concludes:

this one don't get it, master t., suh.  transposition is transposition. which
is not to say you _wanna_, but sure yiz _could_. ...
