How it is built
- Seven notes: whole, whole, half, whole, whole, whole, half. The half steps fall between C♯–D and G♯–A.
- G♯ is the leading tone. It sits a half step below A and pulls hard toward it, which is why the V chord resolves home.
- Same notes as F♯ minor. Start on F♯ and the mood flips without changing a single pitch.
