F♭ Major
F-flat major (or the key of F-flat) is a key based on F, consisting of the pitches F, G, A, B, C, D, and E. Its key signature has eight flats, requiring one double flat and six single flats. Because F-flat major requires eight flats, including a B, it is almost always notated as its enharmonic equivalent of E major, with four sharps. The same is true of the relative minor of D-flat minor, usually replaced by C-sharp minor. F-flat minor, the parallel minor, would be replaced by E minor, since F-flat minor requires four double-flats. The F-flat major scale is: Changes needed for the melodic and harmonic versions of the scale are written in with accidentals as necessary. The F-flat harmonic major and melodic major scales are: The scale-degree chords of F-flat major are: * Tonic – F-flat major * Supertonic – G-flat minor * Mediant – A-flat minor * Subdominant – B-double-flat major * Dominant – C-flat major * Submediant – D-flat minor * Leading-tone � ...

D-flat Minor
D-flat minor is a musical key based on D, consisting of the pitches D, E, F, G, A, B, and C. Because its key signature has eight flats, requiring one double flat and six single flats, the enharmonically equivalent key of C-sharp minor is normally used instead. Its relative major is F-flat major, which is usually replaced by E major. Its parallel major is D-flat major. The D-flat natural minor scale is: Changes needed for the melodic and harmonic versions of the scale are written in with accidentals as necessary. The D-flat harmonic minor and melodic minor scales are: D-flat minor is usually notated as the enharmonic key of C-sharp minor, as in the second and third measures of Amy Beach's ''Canticle of the Sun''. However, unusually, two of Verdi's most well-known operas, '' La traviata'' and ''Rigoletto'', both end in D-flat minor (although written with the five-flat key signature of the parallel major). Mahler's thematic motif "der kleine Appell" ("call to orde ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Key Signature
In Western musical notation, a key signature is a set of sharp (), flat (), or rarely, natural () symbols placed on the staff at the beginning of a section of music. The initial key signature in a piece is placed immediately after the clef at the beginning of the first line. If the piece contains a section in a different key, the new key signature is placed at the beginning of that section. In a key signature, a sharp or flat symbol on a line or space of the staff indicates that the note represented by that line or space is to be played a semitone higher (sharp) or lower (flat) than it would otherwise be played. This applies through the rest of the piece or until another key signature appears. Each symbol applies to comparable notes in all octaves—for example, a flat on the fourth space of the treble staff (as in the diagram) indicates that all notes notated as Es are played as E-flats, including those on the bottom line of the staff.
