Is there a C#


Question Posted Friday June 13 2008, 11:08 pm

There has been some controversy with myself and one of my friends if there is a C# or not. I have looked it up on the internet but my friend still don't believe me. So if you would send me some of your infomation on it so I can prove to my friends that I'm not the only one that is sure there is a C#. I appreciate it.

Haha, yes, there is a C#. Most definitely. Because it is the trashiest sounding note on a saxophone, hands down.

Anyway, going with the same train of thought, there is also an E# or an F flat. Technically. There can also be a C flat or a B#. Why is this? E# is the same as F. F flat is the same as E. C flat is the same as B. B# is the same as C.

Those are called enharmonic tones- notes that have more than one name. So you could call C#... D flat. Or if you're being creative, you could call it B double sharp. Any note that you name like that really does exist, but it may not be the only name for that note.

If your friends don't believe you after all this, just know that you're right. I'm kind of interested to know where they think C# went.

A C sharp is a D flat. They are enharmonic notes (same note by a different name).

Um..I don't know how musically trained your friends are, but there is 100% a C#. I don't have physical proof but go to any piano book and look for something in the key of D. There will be, in the key signeture, an F# and C#. C# is the black key to the right of the white key

It mentions the notes that make up D major
