Hello folks,

I heard Dutch people call their notes a little bit differently.

F sharp is Fis. G flat is Ges. That's all I can remember.

I like that, because it's easier for your mouth to say Fis than F sharp.

So I'm wondering how they call the rest of the notes.

I don't think it goes like this:

Cis, Dis, Eis, Gis, Ais, Bis...
Ces, Des, Ees, Fes, Aes, Bes...

Anybody know?

Appreciate your help,

Cis, Dis, Eis, Fis, Gis, Ais, Bis

Ces, Des, Es, Fes, Ges, As, Bes

Germans don't have a B, they call it H or something.

Easy:

Cis, Dis, Eis, Fis, Gis Ais, His

Ces, Des, Es, Fes, Ges, As, Hes

There is no Bis and Bes.

H (German: "HA") = B

B (German: "BE") = Bb.

Here we go:

C Cis D Dis E F Fis G Gis A Ais B(=H) C

and:

C Des D Es E F Ges G As A Bes(=B) B(=H) C

The question was about the Dutch, not the Germans...

Pennsylvania Dutch refers to people of German heritage. "The Dutch are generally regarded as one of several Germanic peoples. The German, Deutsch, the archaic Dutch, Deitsch, and the modern Dutch, Duits, each mean 'German' yet are all cognates of the English, 'Dutch'. Hostetler (1993) gives the origin of 'Dutch' as a "folk-rendering" of 'Deitsch'."

But I thought this topic was going to have a "they stick it in dykes" answer.

B-flat is B, and B natural is H. Bach took advantage of this, encoding his surname into at least one piece (alas, memory fails beyond this). IIRC, the reason for the B=Bb thing, is that medieval melodies often flattened the 7th tone to avoid a tritone, so it just became assumed.

How the Dutch do it
