|} B-flat major is a major scale based on B-flat, consisting of the pitches B-flat, C, D, E-flat, F, G, A, and B-flat. Its key signature consists of two flats.
Its relative minor is G minor, and its parallel minor is B-flat minor. B-flat major is a suitable key for most wind instruments, especially those for which it is their home key, such as clarinets in B-flat and trumpets in B-flat. Haydn's Symphony No. 98 is the first symphony he wrote in that key in which he included trumpet and timpani parts. Five of Mozart's piano concerti are in B-flat major. Note that in German, the pitch B-flat is called "B", and B-natural is "H". Well known classical compositions in this key
