Its parallel major, C-sharp major, is usually written instead as the enharmonic key of D-flat major, since C-sharp major’s key signature with seven sharps is not normally used. Its enharmonic equivalent, D-flat minor , having eight flats including the B , has a similar problem.
The harmonic minor scale (or Aeolian ♯ 7 scale) is a musical scale derived from the natural minor scale, with the minor seventh degree raised by one semitone to a major seventh, [ 2][ 3][ 4] creating an augmented second between the sixth and seventh degrees. Thus, a harmonic minor scale is represented by the following notation: A harmonic ...
Changes needed for the melodic and harmonic versions of the scale are written in with accidentals as necessary. The C harmonic minor and melodic minor scales are: Audio playback is not supported in your browser.
Neapolitan chord. In Classical music theory, a Neapolitan chord (or simply a " Neapolitan ") is a major chord built on the lowered ( flattened) second ( supertonic) scale degree. In Schenkerian analysis, it is known as a Phrygian II, [1] since in minor scales the chord is built on the notes of the corresponding Phrygian mode .
A natural minor scale (or Aeolian mode) is a diatonic scale that is built by starting on the sixth degree of its relative major scale. For instance, the A natural minor scale can be built by starting on the 6th degree of the C major scale: Because of this, the key of A minor is called the relative minor of C major.
A chord chart (or chart) is a form of musical notation that describes the basic harmonic and rhythmic information for a song or tune. It is the most common form of notation used by professional session musicians playing jazz or popular music. It is intended primarily for a rhythm section (usually consisting of piano, guitar, drums and bass ).
The most common form of the diminished seventh chord is that rooted on the leading tone – for example, in the key of C, the chord (B–D–F–A ♭) – so its other constituents are the , , and ♭ (flat submediant) scale degrees. These notes occur naturally in the harmonic minor scale.
In Roman numeral analysis, the supertonic chord is typically symbolized by the Roman numeral "ii" in a major key, indicating that the chord is a minor chord (in C: D–F–A). In a minor key, it is indicated by "ii o" if it is built on the a natural minor scale, indicating that the chord is a diminished chord (in C: D–F–A ♭).
