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. The D harmonic minor and melodic
Minor scale sharp or flat represents a major (or perfect) interval. A number with a flat represents a minor interval. In this example, the numbers mean: Thus, for instance, the A natural minor scale can be built by lowering the 3rd, 6th, and 7th degrees of the A major scale by one semitone: \override Score.TimeSignature #'stencil = ##f \relative c' { </score> Because of this, the key of A minor is called the "parallel minor" of A major. The intervals between the notes of a natural minor scale follow the sequence below: where "whole" stands for a whole tone (a red u-shaped
