E is the third note and the fifth semitone of the C major scale, and miinfixed-do solfège. It has enharmonic equivalents of F [(F-flat) which is by definition a diatonic semitone above E] and Ddouble sharp (D-double sharp), amongst others.

When calculated in equal temperament with a reference of A above middle C as 440 Hz, the frequencyofMiddle E (E4) is approximately 329.628 Hz.[1] See pitch (music) for a discussion of historical variations in frequency.

F is a common enharmonic equivalent of E, but is not regarded as the same note. F is commonly found after E in the same measure in pieces where E is in the key signature, in order to represent a diatonic, rather than a chromatic semitone; writing an E with a following E is regarded as a chromatic alteration of one scale degree.
