Even so, Johannes Brahms still felt the need to rewrite his C-sharp minor piano quartet in C minor, which was published as Piano Quartet No. 3 in C minor, Op. 60.

C ♯ (C-sharp) is a musical note lying a chromatic semitone above C and a diatonic semitone below D; it is the second semitone of the solfège. C-sharp is thus enharmonic to D ♭. It is the second semitone in the French solfège and is known there as do dièse. In some European notations, it is known as Cis.
Starting the major scale pattern (whole step, whole, half, whole, whole, whole, half) on C requires no sharps or flats. Proceeding clockwise in the diagram starts the scale a fifth higher, on G. Starting on G requires one sharp, F ♯, to form a major scale. Starting another fifth higher, on D, requires F ♯ and C ♯. This pattern continues ...

Some keys (such as C ♯ major with seven sharps) may be written as an enharmonically equivalent key (D ♭ major with five flats in this case). In rare cases, the sharp keys may be extended further, G ♯ → D ♯ → A ♯ → E ♯ → B ♯ → F → C, requiring double sharps in the key signature: F, C, G, D, A, E, B.
