G-sharp major is tonicised briefly in several of Frédéric Chopin's nocturnes in C-sharp minor.
A section in the second movement of Chopin's Piano Concerto No.
1 is in G-sharp major, although the key signature has four sharps.
The end of the exposition of the second movement Charles-Valentin Alkan's Grande sonate 'Les quatre âges', subtitled Quasi-Faust, is in G-sharp major, albeit written with a six-sharp key signature (the movement opens in D-sharp minor and ends in F-sharp major).
The final pages of A World Requiem by John Foulds are written in G-sharp major with its correct key signature shown in the vocal score including the F. The key signature is shown as in the LilyPond example with the scale above, starting with the C♯ and ending at the F (C♯, G♯, D♯, A♯, E♯, B♯, F).
