Prelude to the Afternoon of a Fred

Linking to Daniel Wolf has become my new bad habit, but only because of the immoderation with which I do it.  Nevertheless, here I am again to tell you about his 12 Kleine Præludien which he is offering as a free download in pdf.  I must mention it because one of the movements is dedicated to ... I blush! ... li'l ol' me.  This is one of those very cool, very unexpected pleasures that come along in life all too rarely.  I get the key of A; hmmm, what does that imply about my character?  Let's go to the ultimate guide to such matters, and see what terribly detailed, nuanced description for A Major we find there:
A Major:  Happy
Ooookay, I guess that fits me, as far as it goes.  But wait, the key Daniel chose is only A, not A Major.  What does A Minor mean?
A Minor:  Pure
Uuuuh, yeah.  Looks like that ultimate guide ain't quite so ultimate.
