| | Whole tone scale - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | 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. | | | The whole tone scale is interval cycle 2, or C2. | | | The whole tone scale was also used by Alban Berg in his Violin Concerto, and by Bela Bartók in his String Quartet No. 5. |

| | Sonic Glossary: Scale |
| | This scale is built into the white notes of the piano keyboard, and is the basis for the major and the minor scales of Western music. | | | The chromatic scale, which amounts to the division of the octave into twelve equal parts, is of special significance in the Western musical system. | | | Scales that feature this kind of symmetry have an artificial quality, and are far more common in the music of the 20th Century, when composers began actively to search for structures that would enable them to draw out and explore new sonorities. |
