In music, the major Neapolitan scale and the minor Neapolitan scale are two musical scales, one minor, one major.
The sequence of scale steps Neapolitan minor is as follows[1]:
1 b2 b3 4 5 b6 7 8 A Bb C D E F G# A
And for Neapolitan major[1]:
1 b2 b3 4 5 6 7 8 A Bb C D E F# G# A
Thus the scales are distinguished from the harmonic and ascending melodic minor scales by the flattened supertonic or second scale degree.
Both are accompanied well by power or minor chords[1].
Neapolitan minor may also be called or refer to the Hungarian Gypsy scale and Neapolitan major may also be called or refer to the Lydian major scale[2].
