Next >

How is the relationship between relative major and minor keys represented on the circle of fifths?

A

The circle of fifths for minor keys is constructed by shifting each major key counterclockwise by three positions, aligning each minor key with its relative major.

B

The circle of fifths for minor keys is identical to that of major keys, with relative pairs sharing the same position but distinguished by case (uppercase/lowercase).

C

Relative major and minor keys are placed opposite each other in the circle of fifths, creating a symmetrical arrangement of key signatures.

D

Relative major and minor keys are arranged in alternating order around the circle, creating a pattern of major-minor-major-minor progression.
