Relative key. Circle of fifths showing major and minor keys Relative tonic chords on C and A ( Play ). Chromatic modulation in Bach's Du grosser Schmerzensmann, BWV 300, m. 5-6 ( Play with half cadence, Play with PAC) transitions from FM to its relative minor dm through the inflection of C♮ to C♯ between the second and third chords. The minor key starts three semitones below its relative major; for example, A minor is three semitones below its relative, C Major. G major and E minor both have a single sharp in their key signature at F♯; therefore, E minor is the relative minor of G major, and conversely G major is the relative major of E minor.
