3. Scales in the pentadecaphonic system

The Major scale of C proposed is:

Cp     Dp     Fp      F#p      Hp       Ap       B#p      Cp 

    Play the pentadecaphonic C Major Scale (flute tone, from C4 = 265 Hz to C5 = 529 Hz)

 

Analogously to the dodecaphonic approach, it is possible to build the Natural Minor Scale of A:

Ap    B#p      Cp      Dp      Fp      F#p      Hp       Ap 

    Play the pentadecaphonic A Natural Minor Scale (flute tone, from A3 = 220 Hz to A4 = 440 Hz)

 

the Armonic Minor Scale of A:

Ap     B#p      Cp      Dp     Fp      F#p      H#p      Ap 

    Play the pentadecaphonic A Armonic Minor Scale (flute tone, from A3 = 220 Hz to A4 = 440 Hz)

 

and the Melodic Minor Scale of A:

Ap     B#p     Cp      Dp     Fp       Gp       H#p      Ap 

    Play the pentadecaphonic A Melodic Minor Scale (flute tone, from A3 = 220 Hz to A4 = 440 Hz)

 

The Pentatonic Minor Scale of A proposed is:

Ap     Cp      Dp      Fp      Hp       Ap 

    Play the pentadecaphonic A Pentatonic Minor Scale (flute tone, from A3 = 220 Hz to A4 = 440 Hz)

 

from which the Blues Scale of A can be derived:

Ap     Cp      Dp      Ep      Fp       Hp       Ap 

    Play the pentadecaphonic A Blues Scale (flute tone, from A3 = 220 Hz to A4 = 440 Hz)
