Sol double dièse

Meaning of Sol double dièse in music

In music, **Sol double dièse** refers to the note G sharp (G♯). The term "double dièse" is derived from French and means "double sharp." A sharp symbol (♯) indicates that a note should be played or sung one semitone (half step) higher in pitch. Therefore, Sol double dièse represents the note G raised by two semitones from its natural pitch.

The use of double sharps, such as Sol double dièse, is common in music theory and notation to indicate notes that are already sharpened by a single sharp but need to be raised further by another semitone. Double sharps are often found in key signatures or as accidentals within a piece of music.

For example, if a musical composition is written in the key of E major, the key signature will include four sharps: F♯, C♯, G♯, and D♯. In this case, Sol double dièse (G♯) would be one of the notes played or sung in the piece.
