enharmonic

Enharmonic notes are played using the same keys on the piano keyboard, but they have different names. For example, the black key to the right of C on the piano is called C-sharp and D-flat. C-sharp and D-flat are enharmonically equivalent notes.

en·​har·​mon·​ic ˌen-(ˌ)här-ˈmä-nik. : of, relating to, or being notes that are written differently (such as A flat and G sharp) but sound the same in the tempered scale.

We use the term “enharmonic” in music when we want to point out that there are two ways to indicate the same note, interval, or scale. Let's take a look at an example of each. Enharmonic spellings can be used to indicate different names for the same note.

Enharmonic equivalents can also be used to improve the readability of a line of music. For example, a sequence of notes is more easily read as "ascending" or "descending" if the noteheads are on different positions on the staff. Doing so may also reduce the number of accidentals that must be used.

Therefore, in addition to being called G-sharp, this note can also be spelled with the letter name A-flat. Now, because we are able to call this same exact pitch by two different letter names, the note G-sharp and the note A-flat are therefore considered to be enharmonic equivalents.

C sharp So C sharp and D flat are enharmonic with each other. That means while that black piano key when played has the same sound/note it is named and notated differently. It can be named either C sharp or D flat.

It is the chromatic value that will tell what is the actual sound. The diatonic value will tell us how do we write this sound. Two notes with the same sound but different writting are called enharmonic. For instance: E# and F, E and Fb, B and Cb.

Enharmonic and harmonic are two completely different concepts. Enharmonic refers to the same note having two (or more) possible names, like F sharp and G flat are enharmonic to each other. This is the same no matter what instrument you are talking about. Harmonics refers to overtones.

Enharmonic equivalent key signatures are keys with different names that include the same pitches, such as C♯ major and D♭ major. Dorico follows the convention for transposing to keys with the same type of accidental as the previous key, except where the enharmonic equivalent key signature has fewer accidentals.

The notes F♭, C♭, E♯, B♯, and most notes inflected by double-flats and double-sharps correspond in pitch with natural notes; however, they are not regarded as natural notes but rather as enharmonic equivalents of them and are just as much chromatically inflected notes as most sharped and flatted notes that are ...

The enharmonic keys are six pairs, three major pairs and three minor pairs: B major/C♭ major, G♯ minor/A♭ minor, F♯ major/G♭ major, D♯ minor/E♭ minor, C♯ major/D♭ major and A♯ minor/B♭ minor.

In other words, the note B natural and the note C-flat are enharmonic equivalents. On the contrary, because a sharp raises a note by one half step, and the note C is a half step above the note B, B-sharp is then the enharmonic equivalent of the note C.
