However, there is no need for scale steps to be equal within any scale and, particularly as demonstrated by microtonal music, there is no limit to how many notes can be injected within any given musical interval. A measure of the width of each scale step provides a method to classify scales. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scale_(music) |
For instance, in a chromatic scale each scale step represents a semitone interval, while a major scale is defined by the interval pattern W–W–H–W–W–W–H, where W stands for whole step (an interval spanning two semitones, e.g. from C to D), and H stands for half-step (e.g. from C to D♭). Based on their interval patterns,... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scale_(music) |
The tonic of a scale is the note selected as the beginning of the octave, and therefore as the beginning of the adopted interval pattern. Typically, the name of the scale specifies both its tonic and its interval pattern. For example, C major indicates a major scale with a C tonic. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scale_(music) |
Scales are typically listed from low to high pitch. Most scales are octave-repeating, meaning their pattern of notes is the same in every octave (the Bohlen–Pierce scale is one exception). An octave-repeating scale can be represented as a circular arrangement of pitch classes, ordered by increasing (or decreasing) pitc... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scale_(music) |
The distance between two successive notes in a scale is called a scale step. The notes of a scale are numbered by their steps from the first degree of the scale. For example, in a C major scale the first note is C, the second D, the third E and so on. Two notes can also be numbered in relation to each other: C and E cr... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scale_(music) |
A single scale can be manifested at many different pitch levels. For example, a C major scale can be started at C4 (middle C; see scientific pitch notation) and ascending an octave to C5; or it could be started at C6, ascending an octave to C7. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scale_(music) |
Scales may be described according to the number of different pitch classes they contain: Chromatic, or dodecatonic (12 notes per octave) Nonatonic (9 notes per octave): a chromatic variation of the heptatonic blues scale Octatonic (8 notes per octave): used in jazz and modern classical music Heptatonic (7 notes per oct... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scale_(music) |
The notes of a scale form intervals with each of the other notes of the chord in combination. A 5-note scale has 10 of these harmonic intervals, a 6-note scale has 15, a 7-note scale has 21, an 8-note scale has 28. Though the scale is not a chord, and might never be heard more than one note at a time, still the absence... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scale_(music) |
Scales can be abstracted from performance or composition. They are also often used precompositionally to guide or limit a composition. Explicit instruction in scales has been part of compositional training for many centuries. One or more scales may be used in a composition, such as in Claude Debussy's L'Isle Joyeuse.
