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 step. There are only two whole tone scales, both hexachords, each using half of the pitches in the
chromatic scale:
* Use of the melodic whole tone scale can be traced at least as far back as
Mozart, in his
Musical Joke, for strings and horns.
