F-flat major F-flat major F major (or the key of F) is a theoretical key based on F, consisting of the pitches F, G, A, B, C, D, and E Its key signature has six flats and one double flat. The F major scale is: \override Score.TimeSignature #'stencil = ##f \relative c' { </score> Its relative minor is D minor, usually replaced by C minor (see reason below) and its parallel minor is F minor, usually replaced by E minor, since F minor's four double-flats make it generally impractical to use. Because of that, it is usually enharmonic to E major with
E-flat major E-flat major E-flat major (or the key of E-flat) is a major scale based on E, with the pitches E, F, G, A, B, C, and D. Its key signature has three flats: B, E, and A. Its relative minor is C minor, while its parallel minor is E minor (or enharmonically D minor). The E-flat major scale is: \override Score.TimeSignature #'stencil = ##f \relative c' { </score> The key of E-flat major is often associated with bold, heroic music, in part because of Beethoven's usage. His "Eroica Symphony", "Emperor Concerto" and "Grand Sonata" are all in this key. Also
