Alexander Scriabin

Alexander Nikolayevich Scriabin was a Russian composer and virtuoso pianist.

See Synthetic scale and Alexander Scriabin

Altered chord

An altered chord is a chord that replaces one or more notes from the diatonic scale with a neighboring pitch from the chromatic scale.

See Synthetic scale and Altered chord

Degree (music)

In music theory, the scale degree is the position of a particular note on a scale relative to the tonic—the first and main note of the scale from which each octave is assumed to begin.

See Synthetic scale and Degree (music)

Diatonic scale

In music theory, a diatonic scale is any heptatonic scale that includes five whole steps (whole tones) and two half steps (semitones) in each octave, in which the two half steps are separated from each other by either two or three whole steps, depending on their position in the scale.

Ferruccio Busoni

Ferruccio Busoni (1 April 1866 – 27 July 1924) was an Italian composer, pianist, conductor, editor, writer, and teacher.

Harmonic major scale

In music theory, the harmonic major scale is a musical scale found in some music from the common practice era and now used occasionally, most often in jazz.

Heptatonic scale

A heptatonic scale is a musical scale that has seven pitches, or tones, per octave.

James Murray Barbour

James Murray Barbour (1897–1970) is an American acoustician, musicologist, and composer best known for his work Tuning and Temperament: A Historical Survey (1951, 2d ed. 1953).

Jazz minor scale

The jazz minor scale or ascending melodic minor scale is a derivative of the melodic minor scale, except only the ascending form of the scale is used.

Major scale

The major scale (or Ionian mode) is one of the most commonly used musical scales, especially in Western music.

See Synthetic scale and Major scale

Music

Music is the arrangement of sound to create some combination of form, harmony, melody, rhythm, or otherwise expressive content.

See Synthetic scale and Music

Music theory

Music theory is the study of the practices and possibilities of music.

See Synthetic scale and Music theory

Mystic chord

In music, the mystic chord or Prometheus chord is a six-note synthetic chord and its associated scale, or pitch collection; which loosely serves as the harmonic and melodic basis for some of the later pieces by Russian composer Alexander Scriabin. Synthetic scale and mystic chord are post-tonal music theory.

See Synthetic scale and Mystic chord

Pentatonic scale

A pentatonic scale is a musical scale with five notes per octave, in contrast to heptatonic scales, which have seven notes per octave (such as the major scale and minor scale). Synthetic scale and pentatonic scale are musical scales.

See Synthetic scale and Pentatonic scale

Scale (music)

In music theory, a scale is "any consecutive series of notes that form a progression between one note and its octave", typically by order of pitch or fundamental frequency. Synthetic scale and scale (music) are musical scales.

See Synthetic scale and Scale (music)

Semitone

A semitone, also called a minor second, half step, or a half tone, is the smallest musical interval commonly used in Western tonal music, and it is considered the most dissonant when sounded harmonically.

See Synthetic scale and Semitone

Set (music)

A set (pitch set, pitch-class set, set class, set form, set genus, pitch collection) in music theory, as in mathematics and general parlance, is a collection of objects.

See Synthetic scale and Set (music)

Whole-tone scale

In music, a whole-tone scale is a scale in which each note is separated from its neighbors by the interval of a whole tone. Synthetic scale and whole-tone scale are post-tonal music theory.
