F-sharp minor

F-sharp minor

F-sharp minor is a minor scale based on F♯, consisting of the pitches F♯, G♯, A, B, C♯, D, and E. Its key signature has three sharps. Its relative major is A major and its parallel major is F-sharp major (or enharmonically G-flat major).

The F-sharp natural minor scale is:


\header { tagline = ##f }
scale = elative a { \key fis \minor \omit Score.TimeSignature
 fis'^"F♯ natural minor scale" gis a b cis d e fis e d cis b a gis fis2 \clef F \key fis \minor }
\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 minor and melodic minor scales are:


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

\header { tagline = ##f }
scale = elative a { \key fis \minor \omit Score.TimeSignature
 fis'^"F♯ melodic minor scale (ascending and descending)" gis a b cis dis eis fis e? d? cis b a gis fis2 \clef F \key fis \minor }
\score { { << \cadenzaOn \scale \context NoteNames \scale >> } \layout { } \midi { } }
