E-flat

E-flat may refer to:

  • E♭ (musical note)
  • E-flat major
  • E-flat tuning, on a guitar
  • "E Flat Boogie", a 1980 single by American funk band Trouble Funk
  • 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.

    Well-known compositions in E flat major

    The prelude to Richard Wagner's Das Rheingold is a famous piece of drone music that begin with a low E flat and builds to more and more elaborate figurations of the chord of E flat major. It is used in this opera to portray the motion of the river Rhine.

    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.

    E-flat major

    The E (E-flat) major scale consists of the pitches E, F, G, A, B, C, and D. Its key signature has three flats: B, E, A.

    Its relative minor is C minor, and its parallel minor is E minor.

    E-flat major is often associated with bold, heroic music, in part because of Beethoven's usage. His Eroica Symphony, Emperor Concerto and Grand Sonata are all in this key. Also Beethoven's (hypothetical) 10th symphony is in the key of E-flat major. But even before Beethoven, Francesco Galeazzi identified E-flat major as "a heroic key, extremely majestic, grave and serious: in all these features it is superior to that of C."

    Thus, three of Mozart's completed horn concerti and Joseph Haydn's famous Trumpet Concerto are in E-flat major, and so is Anton Bruckner's Fourth Symphony with its prominent horn theme in the first movement. Another famous heroic piece in the key of E-flat major is Richard Strauss's A Hero's Life. The heroic theme from the Jupiter movement of Holst's The Planets is in E-flat major. Mahler's vast and heroic Eighth Symphony is in E-flat, and his Second Symphony also ends in the key.
