D (musical note)

D is a musical note a whole tone above C, and is known as Re within the fixed-Do solfege system. An enharmonic note is C, which is a diatonic semitone below D.

When calculated in equal temperament with a reference of A above middle C as 440 Hz, the frequency of middle D (D4) is approximately 293.665 Hz. See pitch for a discussion of historical variations in frequency.

We use the note D as the standard note, Dorian mode as the standard mode, and the conjugates are: D self, A-G, E-C, B-F, F#-Bb, C#-Eb, G#-Ab (enharmonic equivalent), ... (the (white or black) keys on the piano are symmetry)

gollark: My automated rap generatorIs far superior to puny human rappers laterIt is backed by the entire resourcesOf this random online dictionary and word relation query API resource isTechnically it still relies on human interventionTo produce the input text to turn into rap intentionAnd due to the limitations of current natural language processingIt is unable to significantly transform the input text reprocessingThis is because spoken human languagesAre mostly not designed with machine-parseability language isor ease of understandingas major goals expandingand were we using better-designed languages, automated rapwould surely be much easier. app
gollark: Does that even rhyme?Um... BLIME!
