  • E♭ (musical note)

    E (E-flat) or mi bémol is the fourth semitone of the solfege.

    It lies a diatonic semitone above D and a chromatic semitone below E, thus being enharmonic to D (D-sharp) or Re Dièse. However, in some temperaments, D-sharp is not the same as E-flat. E-flat is a perfect fifth below B, whereas D-sharp is a major third above B.

    When calculated in equal temperament with a reference of A above middle C as 440 Hz, the frequency of the E above middle C (or E4) is approximately 311.127 Hz. See pitch (music) for a discussion of historical variations in frequency.

    Beethoven's Piano Concerto No. 5 (also known as The Emperor) is another well-known piece set in the key of E flat major.

    Jimi Hendrix's Voodoo Chile is another well-known popular music piece commonly performed in E flat major.

    F (musical note)

    F is a musical note, the fourth above C. It is also known as fa in fixed-do solfège.
