E-sharp minor is a theoretical key based on the musical note E ♯, consisting of the pitches E♯, F, G♯, A♯, B♯, C♯ and D♯. Its key signature has eight sharps, requiring one double sharp and six single sharps .
F-sharp minor is sometimes used as the parallel minor of G-flat major, especially since G-flat major's real parallel minor, G-flat minor, would have nine flats including two double-flats. For example, in the middle section of his seventh Humoresque in G-flat major , Antonín Dvořák switches from G-flat major to F-sharp minor for the middle ...

the ascending melodic minor scale or jazz minor scale (also known as the Ionian ♭ 3 or Dorian ♯ 7): this form of the scale is also the 5th mode of the acoustic scale. the descending melodic minor scale: this form is identical to the natural minor scale . The ascending and descending forms of the A melodic minor scale are shown below:
A musical passage notated as flats. The same passage notated as sharps, requiring fewer canceling natural signs. Sets of notes that involve pitch relationships — scales, key signatures, or intervals, [1] for example — can also be referred to as enharmonic (e.g., the keys of C ♯ major and D ♭ major contain identical pitches and are therefore enharmonic).
Its relative minor is E-flat minor (or enharmonically D-sharp minor). Its parallel minor, G-flat minor, is usually replaced by F-sharp minor, since G-flat minor's two double-flats make it generally impractical to use. Its direct enharmonic equivalent, F-sharp major, contains six sharps. The G-flat major scale is:
A harmonic minor scale can be built by lowering the 3rd and 6th degrees of the parallel major scale by one semitone. Because of this construction, the 7th degree of the harmonic minor scale functions as a leading tone to the tonic because it is a semitone lower than the tonic, rather than a whole tone lower than the tonic as it is in natural ...
Notes of G Flat. G ♭ (G-flat; also called Ges or sol bémol) is the seventh semitone of the solfège. It lies a diatonic semitone above F and a chromatic semitone below G, thus being enharmonic to F ♯ (F-sharp) or fa dièse. However, in some temperaments, it is not the same as F ♯.
