The key signature of G sharp major is 8 sharps. The eighth sharp changes F# to F double-sharp (F## or Fx). This is a useful key, being the Dominant of both C# major and C# minor. If a composer were to write a Sonata in C# minor, but wished his second movement to be in the Dominant Key, he might use G# major, with 8 sharps, in order to express the relation of the first and second movements. Or he might choose to notate his second movement in A flat major, to simplify reading.
Here are notes of the G# major scale:
G# A# B# C# D# E# F## B#
The scale of G# major may occur within any composition, but especially those composed in C# major or C# minor, since modulation to the Dominant is the most common modulation. However, the key change is usually indicated by the use of accidentals rather than a change of key signature.
A practical application of the Key of G sharp minor can be found in early editions of the Beethoven Piano Sonatas. However, most modern editors change the key signature to A flat major, to simplify reading.
