F♯7, also called F♯ dominant seventh, contains F♯, A♯, C♯ and E. Use the piano diagram to find the notes, hear the chord and explore its inversions.
F♯7 is a dominant seventh chord built from the F♯ major triad plus E, the minor seventh above F♯.
Preserve the written chord spelling shown here; keyboard equivalence does not rename the chord.
Choose a position to keep the four written notes, sounding keys, bass note, playback and print reference synchronized.
F♯7 uses 1–3–5–♭7: F♯–A♯–C♯–E.
F♯7 is a major triad plus a minor seventh.
Compared with F♯ major, add the minor seventh above the root.
A seventh chord has four chord tones and therefore four positions: root position plus three inversions. The slash symbol identifies the written bass note.
| Position | Symbol | Notes, low to high | Bass |
|---|---|---|---|
| Root position, current selection | F♯7 | F♯3–A♯3–C♯4–E4 | F♯3 |
| First inversion | F♯7/A♯ | A♯3–C♯4–E4–F♯4 | A♯3 |
| Second inversion | F♯7/C♯ | C♯4–E4–F♯4–A♯4 | C♯4 |
| Third inversion | F♯7/E | E4–F♯4–A♯4–C♯5 | E4 |
Fingerings are not included on this page. The diagram shows note positions, not a prescribed hand shape.
Use the written notes, keyboard positions and playback without treating the diagram as a required hand shape.

F♯7 contains F♯, A♯, C♯ and E.
1–3–5–♭7.
No. F♯7 uses E natural, while F♯maj7 uses E♯.
Select the four pitch classes that make F♯7, then check your answer.
This one-octave exercise checks the exact four-note pitch-class set. Order and inversion do not affect the result; missing and extra notes are reported, while fingering and live performance are not assessed.
