%N A356464 Number of black keys in each group of black keys on a standard 88-key piano (left to right).
%C A356464 On a standard piano keyboard, the black keys appear in groups of two and three, with each group separated from adjacent groups by the presence of two white keys that have no black key between them.
%C A356464 The black keys in a group of two are C#/Db and D#/Eb; the black keys in a group of three are F#/Gb, G#/Ab, and A#/Bb.
%C A356464 The A#/Bb key near the left end of the keyboard is a special case; it is the only black key in its group because the white A key to its left is the leftmost key on the keyboard.
