Yep c flat or b sharp. If the octave has a half step between notes (a full step is A to B, B to C, etc), then a sharp/flat is created. The octave dictates if we call it a sharp or flat, but from a mathematical perspective they are the same tone.
Well, there is a C flat, it’s just also called B. And vice versa for B sharp, that’s just C. There is a half step between B and C, it’s B to C. All the sharp or flat symbols do is signify you should play the half step up or down, respectively, from the decorated note.
The same is true between E and F. There’s a bunch of complicated reasons that the black keys have gaps between them, ranging from the physics of sound, to Western music theory principles, to ergonomics. I’m by no means an expert on any of this, I just think it’s interesting, and a fun topic to look stuff up about.
Oh, I guess I was confused by your wording then. You said there’s no C flat or B sharp, but there definitely are both of those things. You also said there’s no half step between them, but B to C is a half step. I guess you meant there’s no note between B and C that represents a half step up from B or a half step down from C, but it wasn’t clear to me.
we have C#, where the hell is C♭?
You mean B?
Something, something, just intonation something.
Something something A♭ minor
this deserves many more upvotes haha

I prefer Ax
Does it pronounce “C flat”? I’m not fluent in musical tongue.
Last time I fingered A minor I went to prison
I’ve done that too, but I didn’t go to prison because I was a minor at the time too lol.
But that raises a good question…does an adult remembering their teenage sexual escapades fondly make them a pedophile?

Lol but there is no c flat or b sharp. There’s no half step between them. Just like E and F.
That’s why those black keys on the piano have gaps between them.

Right I’m not disagreeing with any of that.
But the person I’m replying to said there is a full step from B to C.

B sharp is H right (please don’t hate me) 😵💫
