  B minor - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
B minor is a minor scale based on B, consisting of the pitches B, C♯, D, E, F♯, G, A♯ (harmonic minor) or A (natural minor) and B.
Its relative major is D major, and its parallel major is B major.

 Major scale - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The major scale has seven notes (plus the inclusion of the tonic of the next scale to complete an octave, in practice), which in solfege are the syllables "Do, Re, Mi, Fa, Sol, La, Ti (and Do)." At the piano keyboard, the simplest major scale is C major (see figure 1).
It is unique in that it is the only major scale to not use sharps or flats on the musical staff and consequently only the white notes on the keyboard.
If you were faced with a major scale with a key signature of 5 sharps, you would count off 5 from the top to arrive at B - it is the scale of B major.

 Reverend James Solomon Russell and Major Giles B. Cooke
Major Cooke was a very exact man and a stickler for punctuality, but he was very human and wholeheartedly devoted to the right and the worthy.
Major Cooke was born in Portsmouth twenty-two years before the Civil War, the descendant of early colonists to Virginia who had first settled in Mathews County.
I told this to the Major, and while he would not positively decline the request, he did not indicate his willingness for me to attend, as this service was in another church and was to be nearly the same hour in the afternoon as the Sunday school which I was superintendent.

 WTC II/23 in B major - Prelude
The first relevant cadential close occurs in bars 11/12 where it confirms the modulation from the tonic B major to the dominant F# major.
This can be observed in bar 13d where the expected conclusion in B major is thwarted by the G# in the bass which converts the chord into a G# minor (vi of B major) and postpones the resolution to the final note of the "female" ending in bar 14d.
In the second section it soon becomes clear that no modulation has yet taken place; F# major is re-defined as the dominant of B major and the first three entries remain once more in the home key.
