![]() Just like the outside circle, the minor key signatures change by going up, or down a perfect fifth (A - E - B - F#). The relative minor of C is A, so they are both on the top. The smaller circle on the inside represents the minor key signatures. Since G-flat major, and F# major have the same pitches, and are just enharmonic (different names for the same pitch) spellings of each other they are on the same spot. There can only be a total of seven sharps, or flats in a key signature. ![]() F major has one flat, B-flat major has two, etc. If we move counter clockwise around the circle starting at the top each letter moves down a perfect fifth, and one flat is added. G major has one sharp, D major has two, etc. As you move clockwise around the circle each letter moves up by a perfect fifth, and one sharp is added to the key signature. This letter refers to the key of C major. C is the top of the circle of fifths, C is the note directly between bass and treble clef, C is on the middle line in alto clef, and much more. You can usually think of C as the middle of most everything in music.
