B-flat minor is a minor scale based on B♭, consisting of the pitches B♭, C, D♭, E♭, F, G♭, and A♭. Its key signature has five flats. Its relative major is D-flat major and its parallel major is B-flat major. Its enharmonic equivalent, A-sharp minor, which would contain seven sharps, is not normally used.

The B-flat natural minor scale is:

$\header { tagline = ##f } scale = \relative c' { \key bes \minor \omit Score.TimeSignature bes^"Natural minor scale" c des es f ges aes bes aes ges f es des c bes2 \clef F \key bes \minor } \score { { << \cadenzaOn \scale \context NoteNames \scale >> } \layout { } \midi { } }$

Changes needed for the melodic and harmonic versions of the scale are written in with accidentals as necessary. The B-flat harmonic minor and melodic minor scales are:

$\header { tagline = ##f } scale = \relative c' { \key bes \minor \omit Score.TimeSignature bes^"Harmonic minor scale" c des es f ges a bes a ges f es des c bes2 } \score { { << \cadenzaOn \scale \context NoteNames \scale >> } \layout { } \midi { } }$

$\header { tagline = ##f } scale = \relative c' { \key bes \minor \omit Score.TimeSignature bes^"Melodic minor scale (ascending and descending)" c des es f g a bes aes! ges! f es des c bes2 } \score { { << \cadenzaOn \scale \context NoteNames \scale >> } \layout { } \midi { } }$
