ELI5: Why does the musical scale go CDEFGAB, and not ABCDEFG?
gpt
i think the original scale in music theory was A minor. A minor is ABCDEFG. C major is the major equivalent to A minor because it contains the same notes. Major scales became much more popular than minor scales and therefore CDEFGAB became the "standard" scale.
