<P> Another construction works backward: It omits two pitches from a diatonic scale . If one were to begin with a C major scale, for example, one might omit the fourth and the seventh scale degrees, F and B . The remaining notes then makes up the major pentatonic scale: C, D, E, G, and A . </P> <P> Omitting the third and seventh degrees of the C major scale obtains the notes for another transpositionally equivalent anhemitonic pentatonic scale: F, G, A, C, D. Omitting the first and fourth degrees of the C major scale gives a third anhemitonic pentatonic scale: G, A, B, D, E . </P> <P> The black keys on a piano keyboard comprise a G - flat major (or equivalently, F - sharp major) pentatonic scale: G - flat, A-flat, B - flat, D - flat, and E-flat, which is exploited in Chopin's black key étude . </P> <P> Although various hemitonic pentatonic scales might be called minor, the term is most commonly applied to the relative minor pentatonic derived from the major pentatonic, using scale tones 1, 3, 4, 5, and 7 of the natural minor scale . It may also be considered a gapped blues scale . The C minor pentatonic is C, E-flat, F, G, B - flat . The A minor pentatonic, the relative minor of C, comprises the same tones as the C major pentatonic, starting on A, giving A, C, D, E, G . This minor pentatonic contains all three tones of an A minor triad . </P>
