	Minor scale - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A minor scale in musical theory is a diatonic scale whose third scale degree is an interval of a minor third above the tonic.
		Sometimes the natural minor scale is equated with the Aeolian mode, but a key characteristic of music in the minor mode in the common practice period of Western music is the use of the leading tone, a half step below the tonic.
		Minor modes use the same set of key signatures as major modes; whichever signature corresponds to the step pattern of the natural minor scale is considered the key signature for that minor mode.

	C minor - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		C minor (abreviated Cm) is a minor scale based on C, consisting of the pitches C, D, E-flat, F, G, A-flat, B and C (harmonic minor scale).
		In the Baroque period, music in C minor was usually written with a two-flat key signature, and some modern editions of that repertoire keep it that way.
		C minor has been associated with heroic struggle since Beethoven's time, with the quintessential work in the key being his Symphony No. 5; see Beethoven and C minor.

	Chopin Prelude in C Minor
		C minor receives a rich harmonic treatment: progressions in 1st four bars are root movement by fifth, chords in root position.
		The lst bar clearly defines c minor (I-IV7- V-I) The 2nd bar emphasizes third relationship to c minor (Ab major) with virtually the same progression; the Db chord which functions as a IV in Ab is the Neapolitan of c-minor (bII).
		However, in measure 6, the grounding of c minor is confirmed when the French 6th is heard on the 2nd beat of measure 6.

	Piano Sonata No. 32 (Beethoven) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Piano Sonata No. 32 in C minor, Opus 111, is the last of Ludwig van Beethoven's piano sonatas.

	Minor Keys and Scales (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		Minor scales sound different from major scales because they are based on a different pattern of intervals.
		C is three half steps lower than Eb, and in fact a relative minor is always three half steps lower than its relative major.
		C minor is the relative minor of E flat major.

		Minor approached each pedestrian victim within the same relative area on the north side of the City of Richmond and identified himself as “Kevin Wilkinson” to C.M. and as “Kevin” to W.S. He offered each one a ride in his vehicle, which C.M. and W.S. willingly accepted by getting into Minor’s vehicle.
		Minor also attempted to have anal sodomy with W.S. Eventually, Minor drove to another location where he pulled out a gun and pointed it at W.S.’s head, telling her not to scream.
		G.C. testified that Minor forced her to engage in acts of vaginal intercourse, oral sodomy, and anal sodomy, while “poking” her with the knife or “bang[ing]” her head on the vehicle.

	La Folia -- A Look at Beethoven’s 32 Variations in C Minor (Part II)
		The finale of the variation is one direct descent to C minor.
		C minor has been a language in which to create poetry, romp, rail, dance — to build, dream and rouse.
		As he approaches the end of the variation and of the work itself, Beethoven returns to the pivotal sixth measure of the theme, the F-minor chord which tumbles now in broken octaves to V I, V I the definition of C minor.

	Dolmetsch Online - Music Theory Online - Minor Scales
		The 3rd of the minor scale must be raised (to form a major 3rd) to produce the tritone, (see lesson 12 - the tritone), that unsettles the dominant 7th thereby providing the pull back to the tonic.
		The interval from C to F is a fourth, as is the interval from D flat to G flat.
		Because the key signatures for A flat major and f minor are identical, f minor is said to be the relative minor to A flat major and A flat major is said to be the relative major to f minor.

	J. S. Bach Passacaglia in C-Minor: Analysis (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		Johann Sebastian Bach wrote his Passacaglia and Fugue in C Minor in 1717 and is catalogued among his Great Organ Preludes and Fugues from Weimar.
		Kraemer conjectured that Bach's Passacaglia and Fugue in C Minor was the composition Bach prepared when he visited the court of Dresden for the showdown with Parisian church organist, Louis Marchand.
		For his Passacaglia and Fugue in C Minor, Bach used a four-measure theme from a passacaglia by the French organist André Raison, to which he added a second four measures to make the ground a completed two-phrase period (unlike earlier passacaglias, whose ground usually consisted of four measures moving from tonic to dominant).

	Title 22 - §1597-A. Consent to a minor's decision to have an abortion (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		The minor or next friend of the minor for the purposes of filing a petition may make an application to the Probate Court or District Court which shall assist the minor or next friend in preparing the petition.
		If the petition is allowed, the informed consent of the minor, pursuant to a court grant of majority rights or the judicial consent, shall bar an action by the parent or guardian of the minor on the grounds of battery of the minor by those performing the abortion.
		No abortion may be performed on any minor against her will, except that an abortion may be performed against the will of a minor pursuant to a court order described in subsection 6 that the abortion is necessary to preserve the life of the minor.

	Mozart's Great C Minor Mass (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		Portions of this Mass in C Minor were sung in the small church of St. Peter in Salzburg with Constanze herself as soprano soloist.
		Shortly before the composition of the Mass in C Minor, Mozart had what music historian Paul Henry Lang describes as "a disturbing encounter with the music of Bach." Mozart's rather late exposure to the music of Bach made a profound impression on him and caused his music to become more contrapuntal.
		Even in its form as Mozart left it, the Mass in C Minor is regarded as one of the three greatest settings of the Mass Ordinary (the other two being Bach's Mass in B Minor and Beethoven's Missa Solemnis).

	The 14th String Quartet Opus 131 - Ludwig van Beethoven - Dominique PRÉVOT
		The C# minor Quartet is referred to by many as the quintessential epitome of Beethoven's style during his late period.
		The C# minor quartet was rehearsed several times at Mathias Artaria's at the beginning of August, 1826 though it was never performed within Beethoven's lifetime.
		Then, another third to dominant relationship is attained by going from the third of the E major fifth movement to the G# minor sixth movement which is a dominant introduction to the seventh movement going back to the home key of C# minor.

	Theory on Tap
		The root triad (i) in minor is composed of a root, a minor third, and a perfect fifth.
		This also preserves the strong cadence that results in a V-I progression (or V-i in minor keys): in classical voice leading (which we may revisit later on), the third of V (which is the leading tone) always resolves to the root of I (or i).
		For example, the A minor chord could be I in A minor, or VI in C major, or the IV in D minor.

		Eb major: Eb F G Ab Bb C D Eb...which are the same pitches as the C minor scale, but starting and ending on Eb.
		The key of C minor is the relative minor of Eb major - same notes in the scale (the natural form of the minor scale, at least), and the same key signature (in this case, three flats: Bb, Eb, Ab)
		In jazz studies (skipping past the why's of it for the moment), a minor chord is often associated with the dorian mode.

	Relative Major and Relative Minor - Understanding Key Signatures
		Now, the relative minor scale is more often called "the" minor scale and treated as its own separate scale.
		In order to see how the minor scale is constructed, we have to compare it to the major scale starting from the same root note as the minor scale:
		Both methods for arriving at the minor scale are important.

	Tonality and Harmony: Scales
		Compositions in the minor mode often raise both the 6th and the 7th scale degrees in ascending melodic line, which results in the ascending melodic minor scale.
		Likewise, the closely related keys of A minor are D minor (subdominant), G minor (dominant), and all their relative majors, C, F, and G majors.
		The natural minor scale is used for the circle-of-5ths progression in minor until the final dominant chord (with the raised scaled degree 7 as the leading tone) is reached at the cadence.

	Lesson- 'Minor-Key Fingerstyle' (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		In this lesson, we'll depart from that tack by taking a look at a minor tuning—a variant on G minor: C G D G Bb D. As you'll see, there are many advantages to minor tunings, such as cool tonal opportunities, easier fingerings, and a host of new compositional ideas.
		Since minor chords are a significant part of any key (the ii, iii, and vi chords of major keys are always minor), this is a real drawback to major tunings.
		In G minor with a C bass, any one-finger barre can create a five-note minor chord analogous to the major one-finger barre chords in open G. But here's the kicker: it is also extremely easy to play major chords.

	La Folia -- A Look at Beethoven’s 32 Variations in C Minor (Part I)
		Three flats of C minor are wiped from the score — piano semplice are the blueprints of expression given us by the composer: "Do as I say!" Eight measures of respite ensue, a lovely retelling of the theme now in C major, without angst, as in a monk’s garden.
		Continuing in C major and with the directions dolce, crescendo and risoluto, Beethoven writes a melody and bass in triplets, three sets to a measure, seeming to expand the theme, draw it out and alter it again.
		The final variation in C major —; 16ths against triplets, the first note of the bass leading to the melody.

	Music Theory: Overview of all keys, key signatures, scales and triads
		To find the key signature and notes of the scale for a minor key, use the second table to find the relative major key, then look up the key signature of the relative major key.
		To find the notes of the scale for the minor key, look up the scale for the relative major key but start from the root of the minor scale (which will be the 6th of the major scale).
		For example, to find the relative minor of D major, find D in the major key column - this gives you B minor in minor key column so B minor is the relative minor of D major.
