<h3 class="section">1.76 diatonic scale</h3>

<p>ES: escala diatónica,
I: scala diatonica,
F: gamme diatonique,
D: diatonische Tonleiter,
NL: diatonische toonladder,
DK: diatonisk skala,
S: diatonisk skala,
FI: diatoninen asteikko.

   <p>A scale consisting of 5&nbsp;<!-- /@w --><a href="whole-tone.html#whole-tone">whole tone</a>s and 2&nbsp;<!-- /@w --><a href="semitone.html#semitone">semitone</a>s (S). 
Scales played on the white keys of a piano keybord are diatonic; and these
scales are sometimes called, somewhat inaccurately, &lsquo;church modes&rsquo;).

   <p>These &lsquo;modes&rsquo; are used in Gregorian chant and in pre-baroque early music
but also to some extent in newer jazz music.

   <p>From the beginning of the 17th century the scales used in European
compositional music are primarily the major and the minor scales.  In
the harmonic minor scale type an augmented second (A) occurs between
the 6th and 7th tone.
