The second mode, also called the octatonic, diminished, whole-half, or half-whole scale, is divided into four groups of three notes each. It contains the intervals semitone, tone, semitone, tone, semitone, tone, semitone, tone – it has three transpositions, like the diminished 7th chord, and two modes:
Half diminished scale: Half diminished scale on C. Play ... Slendro on C compared to a whole tone scale on C. Play ...
The half diminished scale is a seven-note musical scale. It is more commonly known as the Locrian ♯ 2 scale [1] or the Aeolian ♭ 5 scale, names that avoid confusion with the diminished scale and the half-diminished seventh chord (minor seventh, diminished fifth). It is the sixth mode of the ascending melodic minor scale.

The two whole-tone scales as a symmetrical partitioning of the chromatic scale; [1] if C=0 then the top stave has even (02468t) and the bottom has odd (13579e) pitches. In music, a whole-tone scale is a scale in which each note is separated from its neighbors by the interval of a whole tone.
Other relevant features of the piece include the groups of three notes taken from the whole-half diminished scale in mm. 12–18. In these measures, the right hand features D ♭, E ♭, and G ♭, the tetrachord without the 3rd (F). The left hand has the same tetrachord transposed down a tritone (G, A, C).
In music theory, the half-diminished seventh chord (also known as a half-diminished chord or a minor seventh flat five chord) is a seventh chord composed of a root note, together with a minor third, a diminished fifth, and a minor seventh (1, ♭ 3, ♭ 5, ♭ 7).
Because of the repetition of the interval pattern after only two notes, each note in the scale can be the root in another symmetric diminished scale. For example, the C diminished scale of the half-step-first type, has the same notes as the half-step-first E ♭ diminished scale as well as the whole-step-first D ♭ diminished scale.
