Press to hear the scale played ascending.
A minor mode with a flat second — the semitone right above the root gives it a dark, Spanish-flamenco tension.
The notes
Each degree links to its pitch page. Note names use sharp spelling throughout — every accidental is written as a sharp (C♯, not D♭), the same convention as the note pages.
