C-sharp major
C-sharp major (or the key of C-sharp) is a major scale based on C♯, consisting of the pitches C♯, D♯, E♯, F♯, G♯, A♯, and B♯. It is enharmonically equivalent to D-flat major. Its key signature has seven sharps. Its relative minor is A-sharp minor (or enharmonically B-flat minor) and its parallel minor is C-sharp minor.
| Relative key | A-sharp minor |
|---|---|
| Parallel key | C-sharp minor |
| Dominant key | G-sharp major (theoretical) →enharmonic A-flat major |
| Subdominant | F-sharp major →enharmonic G flat major |
| Enharmonic | D-flat major |
| Component pitches | |
| C♯, D♯, E♯, F♯, G♯, A♯, B♯ | |
The C-sharp major scale is:
A harp tuned to C-sharp major has all its pedals in the bottom position. Because all the strings are then pinched and shortened, this is the least resonant key for the instrument.
