Major scale (English)

Major scale (English)

A heptonic scale with a major third as the third degree of the scale, one of the diatonic scales. It originates from the Ionian mode, a church mode. The scales are called C major scale, D major scale, etc., based on the note name of the first note. Of these, scales other than those starting with C require derived notes to form major scales, and among them, those that use a sharp ♯ are called variant major scales (in order of least sharps: G, D, A, E, B, F sharp, C sharp), and those that use a flat ♭ are called variant major scales (in order of least flats: F, B flat, E flat, A flat, D flat, G flat, C flat).

Japanese:

全音階の一つで、音階の第三度に長三度をもつ七音音階。教会旋法のイオニア旋法に由来する。音階は第一音の音名でハ調長音階、ニ調長音階などとよぶ。このうちハ音から始まる音階以外は、長音階を構成するために派生音を必要とするが、それらのうち嬰(えい)記号(シャープ♯)を使うものを嬰種長音階(シャープの少ない順からト、ニ、イ、ホ、ロ、嬰ヘ、嬰ハ)、変記号(フラット♭)を使うものを変種長音階(フラットの少ない順からヘ、変ロ、変ホ、変イ、変ニ、変ト、変ハ)という。
