    Instead, the half step was avoided in clausulae because it lacked clarity as an interval." [13] Dramatic chromatic scale in the opening measures of Luca Marenzio's Solo e pensoso, ca. 1580. However, beginning in the 13th century cadences begin to require motion in one voice by half step and the other a whole step in contrary motion. [13]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scale_(music)

    For instance, in a chromatic scale each scale step represents a semitone interval, while a major scale is defined by the interval pattern W–W–H–W–W–W–H, where W stands for whole step (an interval spanning two semitones, e.g. from C to D), and H stands for half-step (e.g. from C to D ♭).

    In other words, it is the interval between two consecutive scale degrees. Any larger interval is called a skip (also called a leap), or disjunct motion. [1] In the diatonic scale, a step is either a minor second (sometimes also called half step) or a major second (sometimes also called whole step), with all intervals of a minor third or larger ...

    Each of the other five notes, Re, Ga, Ma, Dha and Ni, can take a 'regular' (shuddha) pitch, which is equivalent to its pitch in a standard major scale (thus, shuddha Re, the second degree of the scale, is a whole-step higher than Sa), or an altered pitch, either a half-step above or half-step below the shuddha pitch.

  6. Chromatic scale - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chromatic_scale

    The chromatic scale is a musical scale with twelve pitches, each a semitone, also known as a half-step, above or below its adjacent pitches. As a result, in 12-tone equal temperament (the most common tuning in Western music), the chromatic scale covers all 12 of the available pitches. Thus, there is only one chromatic scale.

    This pattern of whole and half steps characterizes the natural minor scales. The intervals between the notes of a natural minor scale follow the sequence below: whole, half, whole, whole, half, whole, whole. where "whole" stands for a whole tone (a red u-shaped curve in the figure), and "half" stands for a semitone (a red angled line in the ...

  9. Riemannian theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Riemannian_theory

    The descending melodic minor scale shown has the same order of half steps and whole steps as the ascending major scale. Riemannian theory, in general, refers to the musical theories of German theorist Hugo Riemann (1849–1919). His theoretical writings cover many topics, including musical logic, [1] notation, [2] harmony, [3] melody, [4 ...
