In music, a sequence of pitches that establishes a key, and in some respects the character of a composition. A scale is defined by its starting note and may be major or minor depending on the order of intervals. A chromatic scale is the full range of 12 notes: it has no key because there is no fixed starting point.
A whole-tone scale is a six-note scale and is also indeterminate in key: only two are possible. A diatonic scale has seven notes, a pentatonic scale has five. + prikaži više
