E-sharp Minor
F minor is a minor scale based on F (musical note), F, consisting of the pitches F, G (musical note), G, A♭ (musical note), A, B♭ (musical note), B, C (musical note), C, D♭ (musical note), D, and E♭ (musical note), E. Its key signature consists of four Flat (music), flats. Its Relative key, relative major is A-flat major and its parallel key, parallel major is F major. Its enharmonic equivalent, #E-sharp minor, E-sharp minor, has eight sharps, including the Sharp (music)#Variants, double sharp F, which makes it impractical to use. The F natural minor scale is : Changes needed for the melodic and harmonic versions of the scale are written in with accidentals as necessary. The F Harmonic minor scale, harmonic minor and Melodic minor scale, melodic minor scales are : : Music in F minor Famous pieces in the key of F minor include Ludwig van Beethoven, Beethoven's ''Piano Sonata No. 23 (Beethoven), Appassionata Sonata'', Frédéric Chopin, Chopin's Piano Concerto No ...

A-flat Major
A-flat major (or the key of A-flat) is a major scale based on A, with the pitches A, B, C, D, E, F, and G. Its key signature has four flats. The A-flat major scale is: : Its relative minor is F minor. Its parallel minor, A-flat minor, is usually written instead as the enharmonic key of G-sharp minor, since A-flat minor contains seven flats and G-sharp minor only contains five sharps, making A-flat minor rarely usable. Its enharmonic, G-sharp major, with eight sharps, including the F, has a similar problem, and so A-flat major is often used as the parallel major for G-sharp minor. (The same enharmonic situation also occurs with the keys of D-flat major and C-sharp minor.) Compositions in A-flat major Beethoven chose A-flat major as the key of the slow movement for most of his C minor works, a practice which Anton Bruckner imitated in his first two C minor symphonies and also Antonín Dvořák in his only C minor symphony. The second movement of Haydn's 43rd sym ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
