One-octave fingering.
One-octave reference. Finger numbers appear only for the hand and direction combinations covered by the sources listed above.
C-Flat Major contains Cb, Db, Eb, Fb, Gb, Ab, Bb. Repeat Cb at the top to complete one octave. Its key signature has 7 flats.
Every letter name in C-flat major carries a flat. C♭ and F♭ are played on the same piano keys as B and E, respectively, but retain their flat names here. That spelling gives the scale one C, one D, one E, and so on. The key signature contains seven flats.
The cited C-flat-specific lesson gives right-hand 1–2–3–1–2–3–4–5 and left-hand 4–3–2–1–4–3–2–1 for a one-octave ascent, with explicit descending rows. These are documented on the C-flat page itself; they have not been inferred by substituting B-major finger numbers.
Suggested drill: say the flat name of every note before playing it. Pay special attention to E♭–F♭ and B♭–C♭, the half-step pairs. With octave labels enabled, compare C♭4 with B3: they identify the same sounding key under this notation convention. Do not relabel C♭4 as B4.
Each degree of C♭ 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.
A♭ minor is the relative minor of C♭ major. Both keys use the same notes and key signature, but the minor key starts on degree 6.
C♭ major uses five black keys: D♭, E♭, G♭, A♭ and B♭. C♭ is played on the white key B and F♭ is played on the white key E.

Adding a seventh to the dominant triad gives V7, the dominant seventh of C♭ major. G♭7: G♭ – B♭ – D♭ – F♭.
The one-octave ascending notes are Cb–Db–Eb–Fb–Gb–Ab–Bb–Cb. The key signature contains 7 flats: Bb, Eb, Ab, Db, Gb, Cb, Fb. These accidentals also apply in descent.
C-flat major keeps one of each letter name: Cb–Db–Eb–Fb–Gb–Ab–Bb. On an equal-tempered piano Cb shares a key with B, and Fb with E, but their scale-degree spellings stay Cb and Fb. Written octave labels also matter: Cb4 is the physical B3 key, not B4.
This source-documented one-octave reference shows right hand ascending 1–2–3–1–2–3–4–5 and descending 5–4–3–2–1–3–2–1; left hand ascending 4–3–2–1–4–3–2–1 and descending 1–2–3–4–1–2–3–4. 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: say the flat name of every note before playing it. Pay special attention to E♭–F♭ and B♭–C♭, the half-step pairs. With octave labels enabled, compare C♭4 with B3: they identify the same sounding key under this notation convention. Do not relabel C♭4 as B4.
