| | Pentatonic melodies are, perhaps, closer to heaven, closer to the cosmos than those based on major or minor diatonic scales. | | | If a pentatonic melody is compared to a diatonic one, the pentatonic version will seem to be more open and freer than the more ‘fixed’ diatonic melody. | | | Pentatonic music can also be played on the white notes of the piano — for example by leaving out the notes C and F and only using D, E, G, A, B. Rudolf Steiner especially recommends this sequence for smaller children. |
