'''C-sharp minor''' is a [[minor scale]] based on [[C♯ (musical note)|C{{music|sharp}}]], with the pitches C{{music|sharp}}, [[D♯ (musical note)|D{{music|sharp}}]], [[E (musical note)|E]], [[F♯ (musical note)|F{{music|sharp}}]], [[G♯ (musical note)|G{{music|sharp}}]], [[A (musical note)|A]], and [[B (musical note)|B]]. Its [[key signature]] consists of four [[Sharp (music)|sharps]].

== Scale Degree Chords ==

* [[Tonic (music)|'''Tonic''']] - C-sharp minor

* '''[[Supertonic]]''' - [[Diminished triad|D-sharp diminished]]

* '''[[Mediant]]''' - [[E major]]

* '''[[Subdominant]]''' - [[F-sharp minor]]

* [[Dominant (music)|'''Dominant''']] - [[G-sharp minor]]

* '''[[Submediant]]''' - [[A major]]

* '''[[Subtonic]]''' - [[B major]]

Its [[relative key|relative major]] is [[E major]]. Its [[parallel key|parallel major]], [[C-sharp major]], is usually written instead as the enharmonic key of [[D-flat major]], since C-sharp major’s key signature with seven sharps is not normally used. Its enharmonic equivalent, [[D-flat minor]], having eight flats including the B{{music|doubleflat}}, has a similar problem. Therefore, C-sharp minor is often used as the parallel minor for D-flat major. (The same enharmonic situation occurs with the keys of [[A-flat major]] and [[G-sharp minor]], and in some cases, with the keys of [[G-flat major]] and [[F-sharp minor]].)
