F-sharp major

F-sharp major

F-sharp major is a major scale based on F♯, consisting of the pitches F♯, G♯, A♯, B, C♯, D♯, and E♯. Its key signature has six sharps. Its relative minor is D-sharp minor and its parallel minor is F-sharp minor. Its direct enharmonic, G-flat major, contains the same number of flats in its key signature as the number of sharps in F-sharp major.

The natural F-sharp major scale is:


\header { tagline = ##f }
scale = elative f' { \key fis \major \omit Score.TimeSignature
 fis gis ais b cis dis eis fis eis dis cis b ais gis fis2 \clef F \key fis \major }
\score { { << \cadenzaOn \scale \context NoteNames \scale >> } \layout { } \midi { } }

Changes needed for the melodic and harmonic versions of the scale are written in with accidentals as necessary. The F-sharp harmonic major and melodic major scales are:


\header { tagline = ##f }
scale = elative f' { \key fis \major \omit Score.TimeSignature
 fis^"F♯ harmonic major scale" gis ais b cis d eis fis eis d! cis b ais gis fis2 }
\score { { << \cadenzaOn \scale \context NoteNames \scale >> } \layout { } \midi { } }

\header { tagline = ##f }
scale = elative f' { \key fis \major \omit Score.TimeSignature
 fis^"F♯ melodic major scale" gis ais b cis dis eis fis e d cis b ais gis fis2 }
\score { { << \cadenzaOn \scale \context NoteNames \scale >> } \layout { } \midi { } }
