Relevance of compositional key?
Listening to Bach's Sonata No.4 for violin and harpsichord in C Minor made me wonder; does the key music is written and played in, have specific relevance to the compositions mood?

For Bach, absolutely. Instruments were tuned differently back then, so the difference between keys and moods was quite significant. Equal Temperament neuters many individual characteristics for the sake of uniformity.
