Shouldn't it be D flat instead?

Shouldn't it be D flat instead?
- ska 5y agoProbably not? I think they are intentionally calling it the relative minor, not same note, which makes a kind of sense in the usual way punny names do (i.e. a bit of a stretch, but not ridiculous).
- OscarCunningham 5y ago> We need a name that's witty at first but seems less funny each time you hear it.
- Jap2-0 5y agoB♭ isn't the relative minor of C♯? I think that'd be A♯ minor. Edit: Actually B♭ minor is the enharmonic equivalent of A♯ minor. IE another case of things in music that are the same but aren't.
- ska 5y agoI thought of adding the comment about enharmonics but it decided it would muddy the water further and edited it out. Should have left it in.
- jcpst 5y agoEnharmonic in the context of 12-tone equal temperament! slowly backs away
- Jap2-0 5y agoOh no you don't And now I'm down the rabbit hole of reading about tuning systems again.
- xaduha 5y agoNo, because then "be flat" part would be lost.
- solresol 5y agoI pictured Go = G. If you want C# and G (a nasty tritone) together, then you need something else. Adding in a Bb will give a nice diminished chord.
