One-octave fingering.
One-octave reference. Finger numbers appear only for the hand and direction combinations covered by the sources listed above.
B-Flat Major contains Bb, C, D, Eb, F, G, A. Repeat Bb at the top to complete one octave. Its key signature has 2 flats.
B-flat and E-flat are the altered notes in B-flat major. D–E♭ and A–B♭ are its half-step pairs. The tonic is the black key B♭; it must keep that spelling in the note list and staff rather than being silently renamed A-sharp.
The source-selected right hand starts on B♭ with finger 2, places the thumb on C, and places it on F after E♭. It turns at the upper B♭ with finger 4. The left hand starts on finger 3 and turns at the upper B♭ with finger 2 in this documented single-octave version.
Suggested drill: play the right-hand pairs B♭–C and E♭–F with 2–1 and 3–1. Then rehearse the top A–B♭–A using 3–4–3 in the right hand and 1–2–1 in the left. Keep this selected fingering attached to its one-octave scope; do not extend it by simply repeating the row.
Each degree of B♭ major has a name, and stacking every other note from that degree gives the triad built on it. Roman numerals use capitals for major triads, lower case for minor and ° for diminished.
G minor is the relative minor of B♭ major. Both keys use the same notes and key signature, but the minor key starts on degree 6.
B♭ major uses two black keys: B♭ and E♭.

| Degree | Note | Degree name | Triad | Triad notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | B♭ | Tonic | I · B♭ major | B♭ – D – F |
| 2 | C | Supertonic | ii · C minor | C – E♭ – G |
| 3 | D | Mediant | iii · D minor | D – F – A |
| 4 | E♭ | Subdominant | IV · E♭ major | E♭ – G – B♭ |
| 5 | F | Dominant | V · F major | F – A – C |
| 6 | G | Submediant | vi · G minor | G – B♭ – D |
| 7 | A | Leading tone | vii° · A diminished | A – C – E♭ |
Adding a seventh to the dominant triad gives V7, the dominant seventh of B♭ major. F7: F – A – C – E♭.
The one-octave ascending notes are Bb–C–D–Eb–F–G–A–Bb. The key signature contains 2 flats: Bb, Eb. These accidentals also apply in descent.
In this documented one-octave version, the right hand starts on Bb with finger 2 and reaches the upper Bb with finger 4. The left hand starts with finger 3 and reaches the upper Bb with finger 2. Keep these exact turnaround choices rather than silently substituting another source’s variant.
This source-documented one-octave reference shows right hand ascending 2–1–2–3–1–2–3–4 and descending 4–3–2–1–3–2–1–2; left hand ascending 3–2–1–4–3–2–1–2 and descending 2–1–2–3–4–1–2–3. Read each row in playing order. These are sourced choices, not the only possible fingerings, and must not be repeated mechanically for a second octave.
Suggested drill: play the right-hand pairs B♭–C and E♭–F with 2–1 and 3–1. Then rehearse the top A–B♭–A using 3–4–3 in the right hand and 1–2–1 in the left. Keep this selected fingering attached to its one-octave scope; do not extend it by simply repeating the row.
