- -Music Matters Hi Gareth. Thanks for the very prompt reply. I've never heard anyone say accidentals in the key signature, as far as I'm aware they are in the music which departs from the key signature. I do like to get things correct and I found this online. What do you think. According to the -Essential Dictionary of Music Notation- (published by Alfred Publishing), an Accidental is a -Temporary alteration to the pitch of a note-. There are 5 Accidental Symbols - the Double Flat sign, the Flat sign, the Natural sign, the Sharp Sign and the Double Sharp sign.- The Dictionary also states: -When these symbols are used in the music, apart from use in the Key Signature, these Symbols are called Accidentals-. So love learning music theory and I hope you don't mind my persistence for me getting things right. Even if I'm wrong.

What approach chords are good for augmented 6th chords like german 6, Italian 6, French 6 and for the neopolitan chord. You have to approach these chords correctly or its going to sound like they are out of key and switching gears without a clutch. Who invented or used often these types of chords?

Hi Gareth, unrelated question so am sorry in advance. I have a melody in c major scale, only in one instance there is a note which is out of the key. The note is A# . I have tried to harmonise it with A# major, also C dominant 7. Which is correct?

I've always been curious why those notations are called accidentals. Obviously, they are not there by accident. To me, 'incidental' would seem to be a more appropriate term.
Thanks for a very informative video. You explain things well.

-there's a b flat here, there's an e sharp there, what are they doing there for goodness' sake?- it's not only informative, it's also fun, and it rhymes a little :) also, love the rhythm

Wonderful video. Reminding me of things that were thrown at me 40 years ago (at 8 am). Thankfully, now I can relearn these things at a reasonable hour of the day. Thanks!
