What are the characteristics and features of the Aeolian minor scale?

The Aeolian minor scale, also known as the natural minor scale, is a seven-note scale that has a somber and melancholic sound. It is characterized by a minor third interval between the first and third notes, a minor sixth interval between the first and sixth notes, and a minor seventh interval between the first and seventh notes. The scale does not have any raised or lowered notes compared to the major scale, giving it a pure minor quality.
