A♭ (musical note) in the context of Prelude, Op. 28, No. 15 (Chopin)

⭐ Core Definition: A♭ (musical note)

A (A-flat; also called la bémol) is the ninth semitone of the solfège.

It lies a diatonic semitone above G and a chromatic semitone below A, thus being enharmonic to G, even though in some musical tunings, A will have a different sounding pitch than G.
