G Harmonic Minor: G, A, Bb, C, D, Eb, F#, and G. Thus is given the choice, I would choose F# harmonic minor. F# harmonic minor has only 4 alterations, including an E#, while Gb harmonic minor has 6 alterations including 2 double sharps, and a Cb. Once again, a pretty clear cut choice when comparing these two scales. Gb Harmonic Minor: Gb, Ab, Bbb, Cb, Db, Ebb, F, and Gb. The choice is clear here as well, I would choose Eb harmonic minor since it is far more simple than D# harmonic minor.į# Harmonic Minor: F#, G#, A, B, C#, D, E#, and F#. By contrast, the Eb harmonic minor scale has only 5 alterations, including a Cb note. When comparing the D# harmonic minor and Eb harmonic minor scales, we can see that Db harmonic minor has 6 alterations, including a Cx. Also, mixing sharps and flats will become more prominent the deeper down the music theory rabbit hole you go.ĭ# Harmonic Minor: D#, E#, F#, G#, A#, B, Cx, and D#.Įb Harmonic Minor: Eb, F, Gb, Ab, Bb, Cb, D and Eb. This is just something you have to accept. From a music theory standpoint, we can’t simply call the C# note, “Db”, because then we would have issues writing D and Db in standard notation. There is simply no other respectable way to get around this problem. Hopefully you can see that in this instance, you have no choice. In review of the D harmonic minor scale, when can see that we’ve broken one of the most important rules, and that is to never mix sharps and flats. Thus, in this particular instance, it really doesn’t matter which version you choose (if indeed it is your choice), since they both contain an equal amount of alterations and “weirdness”.ĭ Harmonic Minor: D, E, F, G, A, Bb, C#, and D. In comparing C# harmonic minor with Db harmonic minor we can see that C# harmonic minor has 6 alterations (including a B#), and the Db harmonic minor scale contains 6 alterations (including Eb). Thus, if it were left to my decision, I woulds prefer to use the scale in Bb harmonic minor, since there are far less complications with that version of the scale.Ĭ# Harmonic Minor: C#, D#, E, F#, G#, A#, B#, and C#.ĭb Harmonic Minor: Db, Eb, Fb, Gb, Ab, Bb, C, and Db. In contrast, Bb harmonic minor has only 4 alterations and does not have any double sharps. Some Examples of the Harmonic Minor ScaleĪ# Harmonic Minor: A#, B#, C#, D#, E#, F#, Gx, and A#.īb Harmonic Minor: Bb, C, Db, Eb, F, Gb, A, and Bb.Ĭomparing the above two scales, we can see that A# harmonic minor has 7 alterations (including B# and E#), and has a Gx (G double sharp).
