In this music theory lesson we explain the often confusing topic of enharmonic equivalents and why in music we sometimes have to call a note E# instead of F, or B# instead of C, or Fb instead of E, or Cb instead of B as well as sometimes needing to use double sharps or double flats. We clear up the theory behind the issue, look at why scales and keys have to be organised according to certain patterns, and why scales are organised with one of each letter of the musical alphabet, sometimes necessitating the use of E#, B#, Fb, Cb, double sharps and double flats. We'll then investigate the use of E#, B#, Fb, Cb, double sharps and double flats in two pieces of music, one by Bach, the other by Chopin. This music theory lesson will clear up any confusion about enharmonic equivalents.\n
