Why do composers write in F sharp minor not G flat minor?
G and A are only one step away from each other while F and A are two. While Gb to A still sounds like a minor third, written on the staff it looks like a second.
Also, you can't have the same note letter twice in a scale. If you went up the (natural minor) scale from Gb, the next note would be Ab, then A, thus using the same note letter twice in a scale.
Also, in A major, the relative major to F# minor, the sharps are F#, C#, and G#. F# already being in the key signature, it seems more natural to use F# than G.
How do you identify pentatonic scales?
Pentatonic scales have only five distinct notes - do, re, mi, so, and la (or the tonic, supertonic, mediant, dominant, and submediant). In written music it can be easily identified by the lack of the fa and ti (subdominant and leading tone). When listening to music, the pentatonic scale has a very distinct sound which can be heard by playing the scale up and down. One way to get a feel for the scale is to play a piece with only the black notes on the piano. This forces the melody into a pentatonic scale.
