B major is a major scale based on B, with the pitches B, C♯, D♯, E, F♯, G♯, and A♯.

D (D-sharp or Re Dièse is the fourth Semitone of the Solfege. E is the third Note of the C major scale When calculated in Equal temperament with a reference of A above middle C as 440 Hz, the Frequency Sol Dièse or G# (G sharp is the ninth Semitone of the Solfege. A (A-sharp or La Dièse is the eleventh Semitone of the Solfege. Its key signature has five sharps (see below: Scales and keys). In Musical notation, a key signature is a series of sharp or flat symbols placed on the staff, designating notes that are to be consistently

B major's relative minor is G-sharp minor, its parallel minor is B minor, and its enharmonic equivalent is C-flat major.

The key signature for B major is the least sharp key signature with three "lines" of sharps. In the treble clef, putting the sharp for A on its expected position relative to the sharp for G would require a ledger line. In the bass clef it would be possible to do this, but because in piano music this would result in a dissimilarity between the two staves that might throw off sight-reading. In the alto clef, which occurs in string quartets and orchestral music, the B major key signature is usually written in just two "lines" of sharps.

Although B major is usually thought of as a remote key, due to its distance from C major in the circle of fifths) and its fairly large number of sharps, Frédéric Chopin regarded its scale as the easiest of all to play, as its black notes fit the natural positions of the fingers well; as a consequence he often assigned it first to beginning piano students, leaving the scale of C major till last because he considered it the hardest of all scales to play completely evenly (because of its complete lack of black notes).

Note that in German and most Central and Northern European languages, the pitch B is called "H" while B♭ is called "B". The German language (de ''Deutsch'') is a West Germanic language and one of the world's major languages.
