Yes, over mine, Stravinsky's and every other composer and song writer since the dawn of the 20th century who still persist in composing songs in different keys. Why bother when every major or minor key sounds the same? Everything written since then according to the scientists could have been written in C major or Am and no-one would have noticed the difference.  Think of all the time that has been wasted by those who have had formal tuition to the point where they mastered a Shostakovitch piece for piano in F#m (written c1922) when they could have just played it in Am with no audible difference
