Why are they called accidentals?
According to etymonline.com: late 14c., "non-essential quality," from accidental (adj.). The musical sense is from 1868; so called because they alter the note without essentially changing the key of the passage. Ooo, I love it. In English, we don't have a word for sharps and flats in the key signature.Feb 21, 2023
