F-sharp minor is a minor scale based on F, consisting of the pitches F, G, A, B, C, D, and E. Its key signature has three sharps. Its relative major is A major and its parallel major is F-sharp major (or enharmonically G-flat major).

The F-sharp natural minor scale is:


\header { tagline = ##f }
scale = \relative c' { \key fis \minor \omit Score.TimeSignature
  fis^"Natural minor scale" gis a b cis d e fis e d cis b a gis fis2 \clef F \key fis \minor }
\score { { << \cadenzaOn \scale \context NoteNames \scale >> } \layout { } \midi { } }

Changes needed for the melodic and harmonic versions of the scale are written in with accidentals as necessary. The F-sharp harmonic minor and melodic minor scales are:


\header { tagline = ##f }
scale = \relative c' { \key fis \minor \omit Score.TimeSignature
  fis^"Harmonic minor scale" gis a b cis d eis fis eis d cis b a gis fis2 }
\score { { << \cadenzaOn \scale \context NoteNames \scale >> } \layout { } \midi { } }

\header { tagline = ##f }
