G-flat major
G-flat major (or the key of G-flat) is a major scale based on G♭, consisting of the pitches G♭, A♭, B♭, C♭, D♭, E♭, and F. Its key signature has six flats.
| Relative key | E-flat minor |
|---|---|
| Parallel key | G-flat minor (theoretical) →enharmonic F-sharp minor |
| Dominant key | D-flat major |
| Subdominant | C-flat major |
| Enharmonic | F-sharp major |
| Component pitches | |
| G♭, A♭, B♭, C♭, D♭, E♭, F | |
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 the same number of sharps as the G-flat major key does flats.
