E-flat major is a major scale based on E, consisting of the pitches E, F, G, A, B, C, and D. Its key signature has three flats. Its relative minor is C minor, and its parallel minor is E minor, (or enharmonically D minor).

The E-flat major scale is:


\header { tagline = ##f }
scale = \relative b { \key es \major \omit Score.TimeSignature
  es^"E♭ natural major scale" f g as bes c d es d c bes as g f es2 \clef F \key es \major }
\score { { << \cadenzaOn \scale \context NoteNames \scale >> } \layout { } \midi { } }

Changes needed for the melodic and harmonic versions of the scale are written in with accidentals as necessary. The E-flat harmonic major and melodic major scales are:


\header { tagline = ##f }
scale = \relative b { \key es \major \omit Score.TimeSignature
  es^"E♭ harmonic major scale" f g as bes ces d es d ces bes as g f es2 \clef F \key es \major }
\score { { << \cadenzaOn \scale \context NoteNames \scale >> } \layout { } \midi { } }

\header { tagline = ##f }
