What Are Enharmonic Equivalents? In a nutshell, the term enharmonic equivalent means notes that sound the same as one another but are named or âspelledâ differently (and this concept can also be extended to include intervals and scales). The musical alphabet consists of seven main notes represented by seven letters: A-B-C-D-E-F-G.
A-flat minor is a minor scale based on A-flat, consisting of the pitches Aâ­, Bâ­, Câ­, Dâ­, Eâ­, Fâ­, and Gâ­. For the harmonic minor, the Gâ­ is raised to Gâ®. Its key signature has seven flats (see below: Scales and keys). Its relative major is Câ­ major (or, enharmonically, B major), and its parallel major is Aâ­ major. Its direct enharmonic equivalent is Gâ¯ minor. Changes needed for the melodic and harmonic versions of the scale are written in with accidentals as necessary. Although A-flat minor occurs in modulation in works in other keys, it is only rarely used as the principal key of a piece of music.
