ZELFSTANDIG NAAMWOORD

natuurlijke, natuurlijk teken

a symbol that cancels the effect of a sharp or flat, restoring the pitch of a note to its original state

What is a "natural"?

In music, a natural is a symbol that indicates a note should be played without any sharp or flat alteration. It is represented by a square with two vertical and two horizontal lines extending from the corners (♮). The natural sign cancels any previous sharps or flats applied to a note within a piece of music. For example, if a note has been previously sharpened or flattened, placing a natural sign before it will return the note to its original, unaltered pitch. This helps to ensure that the music is played as intended by the composer.

Example

The musician added a natural to the F note to return it to its original pitch after it had been previously sharpened.

The composer indicated a natural sign before the E note to ensure it was played without any alteration.

The pianist carefully marked the score with naturals to clarify the pitch of certain notes.
