36F
371. The fourth tone of the scale of C major, that is, of the scale which has C for the first degree or keynote and has the interval of a major third, two whole tones, between C and the third degree, namely E. The scale is considered the typical diatonic scale because it necessitates no sharps or flats to bring about the succession of tones and semitones required to make a complete diatonic scale.
382. The name of one of the major keys, that is, of one of the keys having the interval of a major third, two whole tones, between the first and the D flat, and E flat, in order to obtain third degrees, in this instance, F and A. The key of F major necessitates the use of one flat, B flat, to obtain the proper diatonic succession of intervals. These appear in its signature.
393. The name of one of the minor keys, that is, the name of that key which has F for a keynote or first degree and has the interval of a minor third, one whole tone and a half tone between F and A, the first and third
