Can anyone help me out? I have my brass tech final tomorrow and am supposed to be able to give the English equivalents of the following pitch names from the German system? but I can't find them anywhere! It's not in the book and Babel fish was no help... any clue where I can find them or specifically what they are??
Es
Fis
Re
Ges
Mi
Ut
B-moll
H-dur
Cis

Es = E flat
Fis = F sharp
Re = D
Ges i'm not sure but assume G sharp
Mi = E
Ut =C
B = B flat, so;
B-moll = B flat minor
H = B natural, so;
H dur = B major
Cis not sure, assume C sharp
They don't make it easy do they

G-sharp is called Gis. I think Ges must be G-flat.
Try searching in www.amazon.de for "Wohltemperierte Klavier". Get a track listing for a CD and it'll show you the German names for all the keys Bach used.
BTW, Ut, re, mi aren't German.

In short
"xis" is "x sharp"
"xes" is "x flat"
"dur" is "major"
"moll" is "minor"
"H" is "B"
"B" is "B flat"
The solfeggios(?) (doremifasolatido) are Italian, not German.
Something to practice: cis, des, eis, fisis (double sharp), b major triad (b,d,f). The English B always confuses me.

Yes, this xis and xes works fine. Another exeptions is:
A + es = Aes doesn't exist and is As, so:
"As" is "A flat"

They're solfeggio syllables assuming that Do is a C (if you do movable do sight-singing- please forgive the slight pun).
