The Harmonic minor was derived by the need for a Dominant chord on the 5th degree (V) of the minor scale – enabling a Perfect Cadence (a Dominant 7th V chord resolving to a I minor chord). By changing the note Bb in the scale to the note B it changes the V chord to a Dominant 7th chord (G7, G B D F, in the key of C).
