G-sharp minor
G-sharp minor is a minor scale based on G-sharp, consisting of the pitches G-sharp, A-sharp, B, C-sharp, D-sharp, E, F-double sharp and G-sharp (harmonic minor scale). Its key signature consists of five sharps. Its relative major is B major, and its parallel major is A-flat major, since G-sharp major, which would have eight sharps, is not normally used. Its enharmonic equivalent is A-flat minor. Changes needed for the melodic and harmonic versions of the scale are written in with accidentals as necessary.

Grave
Grave has two distinct meanings. As a tempo marking it is very slow and arguably intended to be the slowest tempo marking. In terms of mood, the meaning of grave is seriously sad or mournful. During its first use grave was an ambiguous adjective perhaps trying to infer "lowest" as in the lowest voice of a choir or orchestra. Corelli was one of the first to use the term to indicate slow movements in almost all of his music. The tempo of the exceptional few, where Corelli omitted grave, were indicated by other terms. Unfortunately, as is the case with many tempo and/or mood markings, no consistent use can be derived from the historical use of the term until about 1850.
