'''C-sharp major''' (or the '''key of C-sharp''') is a [[major scale]] based on [[C♯ (musical note)|C{{music|sharp}}]], consisting of the pitches C{{music|sharp}}, [[D♯ (musical note)|D{{music|sharp}}]], [[E♯ (musical note)|E{{music|sharp}}]], [[F♯ (musical note)|F{{music|sharp}}]], [[G♯ (musical note)|G{{music|sharp}}]], [[A♯ (musical note)|A{{music|sharp}}]], and [[C (musical note)|B{{music|sharp}}]]. It is [[Enharmonic|enharmonically equivalent]] to [[D-flat major]]. Its [[key signature]] has seven [[Sharp (music)|sharps]].

== Scale Degree Chords ==

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

* '''[[Supertonic]]''' - [[D-sharp minor]]

* '''[[Mediant]]''' - [[E-sharp minor]]

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

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

* '''[[Submediant]]''' - [[A-sharp minor]]

* '''[[Leading-tone]]''' - [[Diminished triad|B-sharp diminished]]

The C-sharp major scale is:

Line 41 ⟶ 29:

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.
