Musical note From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

D♯ (D-sharp) or ré dièse is the fourth semitone of the solfège. It lies a chromatic semitone above D and a diatonic semitone below E, thus being enharmonic to mi bémol or E♭. However, in some temperaments, it is not the same as E♭. E♭ is a perfect fourth above B♭, whereas D♯ is a major third above B.
