D-sharp minor
D-sharp minor is a minor scale based on D♯, consisting of the pitches D♯, E♯, F♯, G♯, A♯, B, and C♯. Its key signature has six sharps.
| Relative key | F-sharp major |
|---|---|
| Parallel key | D-sharp major (theoretical) →enharmonic E-flat major |
| Dominant key | A-sharp minor |
| Subdominant | G-sharp minor |
| Enharmonic | E-flat minor |
| Component pitches | |
| D♯, E♯, F♯, G♯, A♯, B, C♯ | |
Its relative major is F-sharp major (or enharmonically G-flat major). Its parallel major, D-sharp major, is usually replaced by E-flat major, since D-sharp major's two double-sharps make it impractical to use. Its enharmonic equivalent, E-flat minor, has the same number of flats.
The D-sharp natural minor scale is:
Changes needed for the melodic and harmonic versions of the scale are written in with accidentals as necessary. The D-sharp harmonic minor and melodic minor scales are:
