'''D{{music|sharp}}''' ('''D-sharp''') or '''Re Dièse''' is the fourth [[semitone]] of the [[solfege]].
⚫
It lies a [[chromatic semitone]] above [[D (musical note)|D]] and a [[diatonic semitone]] below [[E (musical note)|E]], thus being [[enharmonic]] to '''Mi Bémol''' or '''E{{music|flat}}''' ([[E♭ (musical note)|E flat]]). However, in some temperaments, it is not the same as E-flat. E-flat is a [[perfect fifth]] below [[B♭ (musical note)|B-flat]], whereas D sharp is a [[major third]] above B.

D♯ (D-sharp) or re dièse is the fourth semitone of the solfège. It lies a chromatic semitone above D and a diatonic semitone below E, thus being enharmonic to mi bémol or E♭. However, in some temperaments, it is not the same as E♭. E♭ is a perfect fourth above B♭, whereas D♯ is a major third above B.

When calculated in equal temperament with a reference of A above middle C as 440 Hz, the frequency of the D♯ above middle C (or D♯4) is approximately 311.127 Hz.[1] See pitch (music) for a discussion of historical variations in frequency.
