F-sharp major

F major or F-sharp major is a major scale based on F, consisting of the pitches FG,ABCD, and E. Its key signature has six sharps.[1]

Relative key D minor
Parallel key F minor
Dominant key C major
Subdominant B major
Enharmonic G major
Component pitches
F, G, A, B, C, D, E, F

Its relative minor is D minor (or enharmonically E minor). Its parallel minor isF minor. Its enharmonic equivalent is Gmajor. In writing music for transposing instruments in B-flat or E-flat, it is preferable to use a G-flat rather than an F-sharp key signature. If F-sharp major must absolutely be used, one should take care that B-flat wind instruments be notated in A-flat major, rather than G-sharp major (or G instruments used instead, giving a transposed key of B major), and D-flat instruments in F major instead of E-sharp major, in order to avoid double sharps in key signatures.
