If you hear someone mention that a piano sonata by the composer and pianist Franz Shubert is played in A Major this means that it depends on the A scale. It is also common that piano pieces are named like A Minor – this accordingly refers to a minor scale , also explained on the site. Here we will focus on major scales. You can scroll down and see illustrations of all major scales, further down you will also see an overview with all the notes and the intervals, semitones and finally the formula of the major scale. This theory helps you learn the concepts and memorizing it easier. See also major scales exercises .
