What is the opposite of accusatory?

Basically, there is no need for E or B sharp because all the intervals are accounted for. The intervals for the major scale are T T S T T T S. So if you start the major scale on C, you give all the remaining notes names D–B. This makes E and B only a semitone away from F and C.

A tone is the interval between two white keys separated by a black key. A semitone corresponds to the interval between two white keys without being separated by a black key.

TL;DR: Western music has 12 notes, but our scales have 7. For those seven notes to never be farther than a whole-tone apart, math dictates 2 semitone intervals. Because we arbitrarily picked that the major scale starts with C, those semitone intervals must occur at B->C and E->F.

Why do B and C and E and F not have a sharp note between them? Simply because, acoustically speaking, there is no room in our current system for another pitch between B and C, or E and F. The scale was originally conceived of as a 7 note scale, with the notes A, B, C, D, E, F, G.

This is because there are additional tones between C and D, D and E, F and G, G and A and A and B. Look at a piano keyboard and you will see this – in the above example it just so happens that the notes of the C scale are all the White notes, and the interspersed intervals are the Black notes.

In the language of music theory, a step is the distance between notes of different pitches. A half step, or semitone, is the smallest interval between notes in Western music. Two half steps equal one whole step. The notes G and A are one whole step apart, as are the notes B flat and C.

C-sharp, for example, is a half tone higher than C. A flat (b) lowers the pitch by a half tone. D-flat would be a half tone lower than D, and would be the same sound as C-sharp.

Between B and C and between E and F there is just a half step – no room there for a black key. But there is a reason to have a “B#” and an “E#.” For just one example, if you have written a G# in your music and want to make it the root of a major harmony you’ll need a major third above it.
