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
Major scale semitone (i.e. whole, whole, half). The major scale is maximally even. \override Score.TimeSignature #'stencil = ##f \relative c' { </score> The scale degrees are: \override Score.TimeSignature #'stencil = ##f </score> The triads built on each scale degree follow a distinct pattern. The roman numeral analysis is shown in parentheses. If a piece of music (or part of a piece of music) is in a major key, then the notes "in" the corresponding major scale are considered "diatonic" notes, while the notes "outside" the major scale are considered "chromatic" notes. Moreover, the key signature of the piece of music (or section)
