Question

Would a B sharp major scale and a C flat major scale sound the same? Why or why not?

Answer 1

no, it would not sound the same

this is because B sharp is equivalent to C natural and C flat is equivalent to B natural. this means they are two different scales. B sharp scale would have no sharps or flats and C flat scale would have 5 flats

Answer 2

my answer would be yes... that is because if you think about it there is no sharp/flat between e and f, nor b and c, so it depends on how you want to look at it... b# is the same as c and Cb is the same as B... its just a matter of perception, a B# major scale should be the same as a C major scale and a Cb major scale should be the same as a B major scale
