What would be the equivalent to these piano chords on guitar?

Q. my band for the record www.facebook.com/aacklm has written a new so g that was originally written on the piano the notes to the chords ar
C# E. F#
A. C#. E
E. G#. B
what would these chords be on guitar?

A. The first one isn't any chord I've heard of, the second one is A and the 3rd one is E. Instead of fretting (no pun intended) about the chord names, why not just play the same notes?

BTW...guitar chords and piano chords are the same. Ask the piano player what chords he or she is playing....your chord names will be the same. Chords are chords and there's nothing special that differentiates "guitar" chords except for the way they're fingered.

Original Question

What is the piano chord for "Scheherazade" by Panda Bear?
Q. In the song "Scheherazade" by Panda Bear, the backing music is just one simple piano chord. Does anyone know what it is, and if so, what keys do I play for the chord?

A. I disagree with the other answerer. I think he is playing the 3, so it's a Db9 chord, with Db in the left hand and F Ab Cb Eb in the right. Try both and see which you think is right.

Original Question

Has anyone ever written in two key signatures at the same time?
Q. For example on the piano, F# major in the left hand and Ab minor in the right hand? I think it sounds pretty neat.

Would this be something modernists (I've also seen the word absurdists) do? I wasn't able to find any examples online.

A. It's all over Bartok's Mikrokosmos piano pieces.

Do you mean literally what you asked "in two key signatures?" Or do you mean "in two keys?" A key signature is not the same as a key...you can write music in any key, with or without a key signature. The Petrushka chord (which isn't really two *keys*, but rather two chords...) doesn't use two separate key signatures, nor does anything in the Rite of Spring. The actual use of two distinct, simultaneous key signatures is probably a rarer occurrence than the use of two distinct, simultaneous keys. Does that make sense?

Here are some exceptions:
* In the classical period, it was customary to write horn, trumpet, and timpani parts without any key signature, regardless of the key of the piece. Pick any Haydn symphony with timpani and/or horns and look at the score...you'll see sharps/flats in all the other instruments' key signatures, but not in the brass and timpani.
* Transposing instruments are a different issue. A quick glance at any score for wind ensemble will have many different key signatures on the page...but they're all (usually) going to produce the same concert key.
* Pieces involving keys with 6 or 7 sharps/flats in the key signature might use enharmonic keys, depending on what the composer believes is easier for the instrumentalist to read. The 2nd movement of Debussy's Sonata for Flute, Viola and Harp has an extended section where the flute and viola and notated with a key signature of 5 sharps, and the Harp (for pedal reasons) has a key signature of 7 flats.

Hope this helps!

[EDIT: Ian, you're not talking about the Passacaglia and Fugue in C minor, BWV 582, are you? I don't see any polytonality there...where specifically do you see this?]
