H

In Germany, Russia, Poland and the Scandinavian countries, the white key before the C is called "h". In English-speaking countries, however, this note is called "b".

The Telemann-Werke-Verzeichnis (Telemann work catalog) doesn't just arrange works by category, but then also by key and number within the category. The key is in German, so "h" means B minor, "B" means B-flat major, "Es" means E flat major, "fis" means F-sharp minor. It also isn't in chronologically order.

For instance, in a chromatic scale each scale step represents a semitone interval, while a major scale is defined by the interval pattern W–W–H–W–W–W–H, where W stands for whole step (an interval spanning two semitones, e.g. from C to D), and H stands for half-step (e.g. from C to D♭).

However, in English- and some Dutch-speaking regions, pitch classes are typically represented by the first seven letters of the Latin alphabet (A, B, C, D, E, F and G). Several European countries, including Germany, use H instead of B (see below for details).

B, second note of the musical alphabet and the seventh degree of the "natural scale" of C. In Germany and Scandinavia, however, the alphabetical name for this note is not B but H, while B stands for B flat, a fact which is important to remember in dealing with German music, German writings on music, and so on.

A major scale is an ordered collection of half (H) and whole (W) steps with the ascending succession W‑W‑H‑W‑W‑W‑H. Major scales are named for their first note (which is also their last note), including any accidental that applies to the note.

Thus the notes F and A are added below a seventh chord on C, C–E–G–B, triadically (in thirds). This is also referred to as the "H chord".

What are the seven musical notes? There are 7 musical notes, which are the first seven letters of the alphabet. Each musical note is assigned the name of A, B, C, D, E, F, or G.

H is for Hauptstimme, a German term denoting the primary melodic line in a contrapuntal work. N for Nebenstimme denotes the secondary line.

B, second note of the musical alphabet and the seventh degree of the "natural scale" of C. In Germany and Scandinavia, however, the alphabetical name for this note is not B but H, while B stands for B flat, a fact which is important to remember in dealing with German music, German writings on music, and so on.

When you play a note (called the “fundamental”) on the piano (or any instrument) you are not just hearing that note, but also a series of successively higher frequencies called “harmonics” or “overtones.” These frequencies are known as the harmonic series.

The note one-half step below C, usually called B or B natural. If this note is called H, then B-flat may be just called B, not H-flat. This is German musical notation.
