      Is E the same as Fb i.e. F flat? And why is there no Semitone between E and F?

        It depends:

        E and F flat sound the same ( they have the same pitch ) but theoretically they are not the same note. You will (almost) never find them in the same chord or scale.

        The reason why E and F are only a semitone between (no black key) is harder to answer for me and has to do with how music evolved over the centuries. In other parts of the world other divisions of notes are more common. We’ve sent an interesting video from Jacob Collier in out newsletter last week.
