C minor

C minor is a musical key centered around the note C, characterized by a somber and emotional sound. It uses three main notes: C, E-flat (a half step lower than E), and G. These notes form a chord that evokes feelings of seriousness, sadness, or introspection. In music, the minor key often conveys more emotional depth compared to a major key, which sounds brighter. C minor is frequently used in compositions to express intense emotion or darkness, and its scale includes a specific pattern of whole and half steps that give it its distinctive somber tone.
