	Despite the key rarely being used in orchestral music other than to modulate, it is not entirely uncommon in keyboard music.

			In [[Tuning system\|tuning systems]] where the number of notes per octave is not a multiple of 12, notes such as F{{music\|#}} and G{{music\|b}} are not [[enharmonically equivalent]], nor are the corresponding key signatures. For example, the key of F-sharp major, with six sharps, is equivalent to G-flat major in 12-tone equal temperament, but in [[19 equal temperament\|19-tone equal temperament]], it is equivalent to [[G-double-flat major]] instead, with 13 flats.

'''F-sharp major''' is a [[major scale]] based on [[F♯ (musical note)|F{{Music|sharp}}]], consisting of the pitches F{{Music|sharp}}, [[G♯ (musical note)|G{{Music|sharp}}]], [[A♯ (musical note)|A{{Music|sharp}}]], [[B (musical note)|B]], [[C♯ (musical note)|C{{Music|sharp}}]], [[D♯ (musical note)|D{{Music|sharp}}]], and [[E♯ (musical note)|E{{Music|sharp}}]]. Its [[key signature]] has six [[Sharp (music)|sharps]].<ref name="Root1874">{{cite book|author=Frederic Woodman Root|title=The Song Era: A Book of Instruction and Music for Elementary and Advanced Singing Classes, Choirs, Institutes and Conventions|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=u21BAQAAMAAJ&pg=PA9|year=1874|publisher=John Church|page=9}}</ref>
Its [[relative key|relative minor]] is [[D-sharp minor]] (or enharmonically [[E-flat minor]]) and its [[parallel key|parallel minor]] is [[F-sharp minor]]. Its direct [[enharmonic]], [[G-flat major]], contains six flats in its [[key signature]].

The F-sharp major scale is:

{{block indent|<score sound raw>
\header { tagline = ##f }
scale = \relative f' { \key fis \major \omit Score.TimeSignature
fis^"F♯ natural major scale" gis ais b cis dis eis fis eis dis cis b ais gis fis2 \clef F \key fis \major }
\score { { << \cadenzaOn \scale \context NoteNames \scale >> } \layout { } \midi { } }
</score>}}

Changes needed for the melodic and harmonic versions of the scale are written in with accidentals as necessary. The F-sharp [[Harmonic major scale|harmonic major]] and [[Melodic major scale|melodic major scales]] are:

{{block indent|<score sound raw>
\header { tagline = ##f }
scale = \relative f' { \key fis \major \omit Score.TimeSignature
fis^"F♯ harmonic major scale" gis ais b cis d eis fis eis d! cis b ais gis fis2 }
\score { { << \cadenzaOn \scale \context NoteNames \scale >> } \layout { } \midi { } }
</score>}}
{{block indent|<score sound raw>

fis^"F♯ melodic major scale" gis ais b cis dis eis fis e d cis b ais gis fis2 }
\score { { << \cadenzaOn \scale \context NoteNames \scale >> } \layout { } \midi { } }
</score>}}

==Scale degree chords==
The [[scale degree]] chords of F-sharp major are:
* [[Tonic (music)|Tonic]] – F-sharp major
* [[Supertonic]] – [[G-sharp minor]]
* [[Mediant]] – [[A-sharp minor]]
* [[Subdominant]] – [[B major]]
* [[Dominant (music)|Dominant]] – [[C-sharp major]]
* [[Submediant]] – [[D-sharp minor]]
* [[Leading tone]] – [[Diminished triad|E-sharp diminished]]

== Music in F-sharp major ==
{{See also|List of symphonies in F-sharp major}}
F-sharp major is the key of the minuets in Haydn's [[Symphony No. 45 (Haydn)|"Farewell" Symphony]] and of the String Quartet No. 5 from his [[String Quartets, Op. 76 (Haydn)|Op. 76]], of Beethoven's [[Piano Sonata No. 24 (Beethoven)|Piano Sonata No. 24, Op. 78]], Verdi's "[[Va, pensiero]]" from ''Nabucco'', Mahler's unfinished [[Symphony No. 10 (Mahler)|Tenth Symphony]], Korngold's [[Symphony in F-sharp major (Korngold)|Symphony Op. 40]], and Scriabin's [[Piano Sonata No. 4 (Scriabin)|Fourth Piano Sonata]]. The key was the favorite tonality of [[Olivier Messiaen]], who used it throughout his work to express his most exciting or transcendent moods, most notably in the ''[[Turangalîla-Symphonie]]'' and the piano cycle ''[[Vingt Regards sur l'enfant-Jésus]]''.

Like [[G-flat major]], F-sharp major is rarely used in orchestral music, other than in passing. It is more common in piano music. Some examples include a [[Nocturnes, Op. 15 (Chopin)#Nocturne in F-sharp major, Op. 15, No. 2|Nocturne]] and the [[Barcarolle (Chopin)|Barcarolle]] by Chopin, the sonatas of [[Alexander Scriabin]] and several pieces from Grieg's ''[[Lyric Pieces]]''. Shostakovich's [[String Quartet No. 14 (Shostakovich)|String Quartet No. 14]] is in this key.

Liszt was apparently fond of F-sharp major, having uplifting while meditative pieces like "Les jeux d'eaux à la villa d'este" from [[Années de pèlerinage|Années de Pèlerinage]] III, S.163 and "Bénediction de Dieu dans la Solitude" from the set [[Harmonies poétiques et religieuses|Harmonies Poétiques et Religieuses]] S.173 in this key. The first [[polka]] in [[Bedřich Smetana|Smetana']]s "3 Polkas de Salon" is in F-sharp major, as is Polonaise No. 1 by [[Stanisław Moniuszko]].

Despite the key rarely being used in orchestral music other than to modulate, it is not entirely uncommon in keyboard music. For orchestration of piano music, some theorists recommend transposing the music to [[F major]] or [[G major]]. If F-sharp major must be used, one should take care that B♭ wind instruments be notated in [[A-flat major]], rather than [[G-sharp major]] (or E♮/B♮ instruments used instead, giving a transposed key of [[D major]]/G major).
