Minor key and scale based on the note F

F minor is a minor scale based on F, consisting of the pitches F, G, A♭, B♭, C, D♭, and E♭. Its key signature consists of four flats. Its relative major is A-flat major and its parallel major is F major. Its enharmonic equivalent, E-sharp minor, has eight sharps, including the double sharp F, which makes it impractical to use.

The F natural minor scale is

${ \override Score.TimeSignature #'stencil = ##f \relative c' { \clef treble \key f \minor \time 7/4 f4^\markup "F natural minor scale" g aes bes c des es f es des c bes aes g f2 \clef bass \key f \minor } }$

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

${ \override Score.TimeSignature #'stencil = ##f \relative c' { \clef treble \key f \minor \time 7/4 f4^\markup "F harmonic minor scale" g aes bes c des e f e des c bes aes g f2 } }$

${ \override Score.TimeSignature #'stencil = ##f \relative c' { \clef treble \key f \minor \time 7/4 f4^\markup "F melodic minor scale (ascending and descending)" g aes bes c d e f es! des! c bes aes g f2 } }$

Music in F minor

Famous pieces in the key of F minor include Beethoven's Appassionata Sonata, Chopin's Piano Concerto No. 2, Ballade No. 4, Haydn's Symphony No. 49, La Passione and Tchaikovsky’s Symphony No. 4.

Glenn Gould once said if he could be any key, he would be F minor, because "it's rather dour, halfway between complex and stable, between upright and lascivious, between gray and highly tinted... There is a certain obliqueness."

Hermann von Helmholtz once described F minor as harrowing and melancholy. Christian Schubart described this key as "Deep depression, funereal lament, groans of misery and longing for the grave".
