I don't know that the white keys are considered natural and the black 'otherwise'. I can't say I've heard them described that way, but it's a long time since I did theory.Then why is it generally stated (and confusingly so) that the white keys on a piano are ‘natural’ notes and the black keys are ‘chromatic’ or ‘accidental’ pitches? Surely, that is true only when playing in the key of C Major (and any of its Modes).
