Set 3-1 has three possible versions: [0 1 1 1 2 T], [0 1 1 T E 1], and [0 T T 1 E 1], where the subscripts indicate adjacency intervals.The normal form is the smallest "slice of pie" (shaded) or most compact form, in this case: [0 1 1 1 2 T].
A pentatonic scale is a musical scale with five notes per octave, in contrast to heptatonic scales, which have seven notes per octave (such as the major scale and minor scale). Pentatonic scales were developed independently by many ancient civilizations [ 2 ] and are still used in various musical styles to this day.

When barring each fret in standard tuning, only and all of the notes of pentatonic scales are produced. For example, the open strings E, A, D, G, B, E yield the notes of the E minor pentatonic scale (G major pentatonic), and barring the third fret produces the notes of the G minor pentatonic scale (B♭ major pentatonic).
In Western musical traditions, pentatonic scales—conventionally played on the black keys—are built entirely from intervals larger than a semitone. Commentators thus tend to identify diatonic and pentatonic stacks as "tone clusters" only when they consist of four or more successive notes in the scale. [1]
For example, the left-handed involute of the standard tuning E–A–D–G–B–E is the "lefty" tuning E–B–G–D–A–E. Similarly, the "left-handed" involute of the "lefty" tuning is the standard ("righty") tuning. [21] The reordering of open-strings in left-handed tunings has an important consequence.
It leads into a larger section which begins with a left hand arpeggio in E major and a descending right hand E major pentatonic progression. The second quieter B section is in A major , starting with a gesture (E-D-E-C ♯ ), briefly passing through E major, returning to A major and ending with a bold pronouncement of the E-D-E-C ♯ gesture ...
