The C-Melodic Minor scale is a seven-note scale that is derived from the natural minor scale. It consists of the notes C, D, E♭, F, G, A, and B in its ascending form. When descending, it typically reverts to the natural minor scale, which includes the notes C, D, E♭, F, G, A♭, and B♭. This unique structure gives the scale a distinct sound, often used in jazz and classical music. In the context of music theory, the C-Melodic Minor scale is important for improvisation and composition. It allows musicians to create melodies and harmonies that convey a range of emotions. The scale's raised sixth and seventh degrees (A and B) in the ascending form provide a brighter sound, making it a favorite among composers and performers, including notable figures like Béla Bartók and Django Reinhardt.
