Very nice, its nothing over the top. However its more like playing around a G sharp minor scale than a composition. Prove me wrong if you like. ;D

  Nice touch by the way.

Thanks Zheer!  Well its an impromptu and I write what comes to my heart and its not a typical G SharpMinor Scale anyway.  I used the Augumented Fourth, here are the notes to the scale
G#, A#, B, Dnatural(not CSharp!!!!) , Eflat, Fnat(not E), Gnatural and GSharp

  Do you mean Harmonic.

NO,
Harmonic, melodic or natural doesnt deal with the change of 4th interval. All of these minor scales have perfect 4th and a minor 3rd. But the scale I am using I do use Augumented 4th.

Used by Liszt before E.G Hungarian Rhapsody No: 19, why we still call Minor, because its the 3rd and the perfect 5th that matters in determining what a Chord is(minor or Major etc) and so a scale(minor or Major) in terms of naming convention. We still use minor 3rd!

Hope this is clear, anyway I can explain by notes

G Sharp minor(natural) : G#, A#, B, C#, D#, E, F#, G#'
G Sharp minor(harmonic): G#, A#, B, C#, D#,E, G, G#
G Sharp minor(melodic): G#, A#, B, C#, D#,F, G, G# and desc F#, E, D#,    C#, B, A# and G#

But the scale I use is quite different
it goes: G#, A#, B, Dnatural, E(flat), Fnat, G, G#
