| | The 19-tone scale is, for example, not capable of distinguishing between the 7th and 11th harmonics, or of distinguishing the 11th from the augmented fourth. | | | Yasser suggested that certain composers of his time, notably Scriabin, were already composing in a 12-tone "supradiatonic" scale with distinct tonalities identifiable by the wide and narrow intervals a 12-tone scale would have in a 19-tone temperament. | | | Composers have explored the potential of the 12-tone scale over several centuries, and these explorations have culminated in the highly chromatic music of the later Romantic era and "atonal" music of the 20th century. |

| | Although it is not part of the Major scale, the tritone is exactly half an octave, and this lends it great importance in music. | | | Two of these, commonly used in western music, are the Major Pentatonic and the Minor Pentatonic. | | | This means that the Minor Pentatonic is a safe choice for improvising over blues, but can end up sounding a little bland if used all the time. |
