In 3-4 sentences, explain the circle of fifths. State any key formula.
70 chars

Generation

The circle of fifths is a visual diagram that arranges the 12 musical keys in a circular pattern, where each key is a perfect fifth interval (7 semitones) above the previous one moving clockwise. Moving clockwise adds sharps to key signatures, while moving counterclockwise adds flats. The key formula is that **each step represents an interval of a perfect fifth, or a frequency ratio of 3:2**. This tool helps musicians understand key relationships, chord progressions, and key signature patterns.
