D-flat minor D-flat minor D minor is a theoretical key based on D, consisting of the pitches D, E, F, G, A, B, and C. Its key signature has six flats and one double flat. Its relative major is F major (usually replaced by E major), its parallel major is D major, its direct enharmonic equivalent is C♯ minor, which is normally used. The D natural minor scale is: \override Score.TimeSignature #'stencil = ##f \relative c' { </score> Changes needed for the melodic and harmonic versions of the scale are written in with accidentals as necessary.

Pentatonic scale F, G, B-flat. The A minor pentatonic, the relative minor of C, comprises the same tones as the C major pentatonic, starting on A, giving A, C, D, E, G. This minor pentatonic contains all three tones of an A minor triad. \override Score.TimeSignature #'stencil = ##f \relative c" { </score> The five pentatonic scales found by running up the black keys on the piano are: Ricker assigned the major pentatonic scale mode I while Gilchrist assigned it mode III. Ben Johnston gives the following Pythagorean tuning for the minor pentatonic scale: Naturals in that table are not the alphabetic
