How it is built
- Seven notes: whole, whole, half, whole, whole, whole, half. The half steps fall between E–F and B–C.
- B is the leading tone. It sits a half step below C and pulls hard toward it, which is why the V chord resolves home.
- Same notes as A minor. Start on A and the mood flips without changing a single pitch.
