Persian scale on C Play ⓘ.. The Persian scale is a musical scale occasionally found in guitar scale books, along with other scales inspired by Middle Eastern music. It is characterized by the liberal use of half steps (4), augmented seconds (2), and frequent use of chromaticism.
The augmented second between its second and third scale degrees gives it an "Arabic" or Middle Eastern feeling to Western listeners. In the Berklee method , it is known as the Mixolydian ♭ 9 ♭ 13 chord scale, a Mixolydian scale with a lowered 9th (2nd) and lowered 13th (6th), used in secondary dominant chord scales for V 7 /III and V 7 /VI.
The current tone system is derived from the work of Farabi (d. 950 CE) (heptatonic scales constructed from seconds), who used a 25-tone unequal scale (see tetrachord), and Mikha'il Mishaqah (1800–1888) who first presented the 24-tone equal-tempered division. [6]
