D♭ major (or the key of D♭) is a major scale based on D♭, consisting of the pitches D♭, E♭, F, G♭, A♭, B♭ and C. It is enharmonically equivalent to C♯ major. Its key signature has five flats.* The D♭ major scale is:Its relative minor is B♭ minor. Its parallel minor, D♭ minor, is usually replaced by C♯ minor, since D♭ minor features a B in its key signature and C♯ minor only has four sharps, making it rare for D♭ minor to be used. C♯ major, its enharmonic, with seven sharps, has a similar problem. Therefore, D♭ major is often used as the parallel major for C♯ minor. (The same enharmonic situation occurs with the keys of A♭ major and G♯ minor). * For example, in his Prelude No. 15 in D♭ major ("Raindrop"), Frédéric Chopin switches from D♭ major to C♯ minor for the middle section in the parallel minor, while in his Fantaisie-Impromptu and Scherzo No. 3, primarily in C♯ minor, he switches to D♭ major for the middle section for the opposite reason. Ferdinand Ries' third concerto likewise switches to D♭ major for a while for the return of the second theme in the first movement. Claude Debussy also switches from D♭ major to C♯ minor in the significant section in his famous "Clair de lune". Antonín Dvořák's New World Symphony likewise switches to C♯ minor for a while for the significant section in the slow movement. * * D♭ major is enharmonic to C♯ major. In music for the harp, D♭ major would be preferable, not only because harp strings are more resonant in the flat position and the key has fewer accidentals, but also because modulation to the dominant key is easier (by putting the G pedal in the natural position, whereas there is no double-sharp position in which to put the F pedal for G♯ major). |
