Answer the following questions.
Will report any irrelevant answer.
1. Write the seven sharps in key signature order (just the note letters, without the sharp symbols). Don't leave any spaces: FC...etc.
2. Write the flats in key signature order.
3. What note is altered in F# harmonic minor.(Use # for sharp, b for flat, n for natural, x for double sharp, or bb for double flat.)
4. Between which scale degrees do the half steps fall in a major scale?
5. How many sharps does E major have ?
6. How many flats does Db major have ?
7. What is the key signature of g minor ?
8. Is there a key signature for Db minor ?
9. What is the relative major of A# minor ?
Answers
1. A key with 5 flats would contain the first 5 flats from the order — Bb, Eb, Ab, Db, and Gb.
2. The order of flats is the reverse of the order of sharps: B flat, E flat, A flat, D flat, G flat, C flat, F flat.
3. The notes of the natural F sharp minor scale are F♯, G A, B, C♯, D, E, F♯. To form the F sharp harmonic minor scale, we raise the seventh note by a half step and this results in F♯, G♯, A, B, C♯, D, E♯, F♯.
4. Half steps occur between scale degrees 3–4 and 7–8.
5. 4 flats.
6. 5 flats.
7. G minor with two flats placed after the clef. In musical notation, a key signature is a set of sharp (♯), flat (♭), and rarely, natural.
8. Its key signature has six flats and one double flat. So, Yes it has.
9. Its relative major is C-sharp major (or enharmonically D-flat major), and its parallel major is A-sharp major, usually replaced by B-flat major, since A-sharp major's three double-sharps make it impractical to use.
