C Enigmatic
C · D♭ · E · G♭ · A♭ · B♭ · B
Invented by Verdi as a compositional puzzle, C Enigmatic rises through a flat second, major third, flat fifth, flat sixth, flat seventh, and major seventh — an asymmetric sequence that belongs to no conventional key. It resists functional harmony almost by design. A curiosity worth exploring for genuinely unusual melodic shapes.
