  2. Enharmonic equivalence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enharmonic_equivalence

    A musical passage notated as flats. The same passage notated as sharps, requiring fewer canceling natural signs. Sets of notes that involve pitch relationships — scales, key signatures, or intervals, [1] for example — can also be referred to as enharmonic (e.g., the keys of C ♯ major and D ♭ major contain identical pitches and are therefore enharmonic).

  3. Concert pitch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concert_pitch

    For example, a written C on a B ♭ clarinet or trumpet sounds as a non-transposing instrument's B ♭. The term "concert pitch" is used to refer to the pitch on a non-transposing instrument, to distinguish it from the transposing instrument's written note. The clarinet or trumpet's written C is thus referred to as "concert B ♭ ". [1]

  4. B-flat major - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/B-flat_major

    Many transposing instruments are pitched in B-flat major, including the clarinet, trumpet, tenor saxophone, and soprano saxophone. As a result, B-flat major is one of the most popular keys for concert band compositions.

  5. Enharmonic scale - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enharmonic_scale

    As an example, F ♯ and G ♭ are equivalent in a chromatic scale (the same sound is spelled differently), but they are different sounds in an enharmonic scale (as well as nearly every known musical tuning except for the modern 12-tone E.T. scale). (See: musical tuning for a more complete introduction to the many non-12-tone E.T. tuning systems.)

  6. E major - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E_major

    E major is a major scale based on E, consisting of the pitches E, F ♯, G ♯, A, B, C ♯, and D ♯. Its key signature has four sharps. Its relative minor is C-sharp minor and its parallel minor is E minor. Its enharmonic equivalent, F-flat major, has six flats and the double-flat B, which makes that key less convenient to use. The E major ...

  7. Key signature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Key_signature

    There can be up to seven flats in a key signature, applied as: BE ♭ A ♭ D ♭ G ♭ C ♭ F ♭ [9] [10] The major scale with one flat is F major. In all major scales with flat key signatures, the tonic in a major key is a perfect fourth below the last flat. When there is more than one flat, the tonic is the note of the second-to-last ...

  8. E-flat major - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E-flat_major

    E-flat major was the second-flattest key Mozart used in his music. For him, E-flat major was associated with Freemasonry; "E-flat evoked stateliness and an almost religious character." [4] Edward Elgar wrote his Variation IX "Nimrod" from the Enigma Variations in E-flat major. Its strong, yet vulnerable character has led the piece to become a ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Key_signature_names_and...

    When a musical key or key signature is referred to in a language other than English, that language may use the usual notation used in English (namely the letters A to G, along with translations of the words sharp, flat, major and minor in that language): languages which use the English system include Irish, Welsh, Hindi, Japanese (based on katakana in iroha order), Korean (based on hangul in ...
