Antonio Vivaldi used this key for the "Spring" concerto from The Four Seasons.. Johann Sebastian Bach used E major for a violin concerto, as well as for his third partita for solo violin; the key is especially appropriate for the latter piece because its tonic (E) and subdominant (A) correspond to open strings on the violin, enhancing the tone colour (and ease of playing) of the bariolage in ...

F ♭ is a common enharmonic equivalent of E, but is not regarded as the same note. F ♭ is commonly found after E ♭ in the same measure in pieces where E ♭ is in the key signature, in order to represent a diatonic, rather than a chromatic semitone; writing an E ♭ with a following E ♮ is regarded as a chromatic alteration of one scale ...
The Harmonious Blacksmith is the popular name of the final movement, Air and variations, of George Frideric Handel's Suite No. 5 in E major, HWV 430, for harpsichord.This instrumental air was one of the first works for harpsichord published by Handel and is made up of four movements. [1]
In the 17th century, descending bass lines found favour for "divisions on the ground", so that Pachelbel's canon contains very similar harmonizations of the descending major scale. At its simplest, this descending sequence may simply introduce an extra chord, either III or V, into the I–vi–IV–V type of sequence described above.
In this diatonic version of the circle, one of the fifths is not a true fifth: it is a tritone (or a diminished fifth), e.g. between F and B in the "natural" diatonic scale (i.e. without sharps or flats). Here is how the circle of fifths derives, through permutation from the diatonic major scale:
By contrast, a descending, or upper, leading tone [5] [6] is a leading tone that resolves down, as opposed to the seventh scale degree (a lower leading tone) which resolves up. The descending, or upper, leading tone usually is a lowered second degree (♭) resolving to the tonic, but the expression may at times refer to a ♭ resolving to the ...
The Aeolian dominant scale (Aeolian ♯ 3 scale), Mixolydian ♭ 6 scale, descending melodic major scale, or Hindu scale [1] [2] is the fifth mode of the ascending melodic minor scale. It is named Aeolian dominant because its sound derives from having a dominant seventh chord on the tonic in the context of what is otherwise the Aeolian mode.
