These are the common triads (major, minor, augmented and diminished) that you can create from members of this scale.
* Pitches are shown with C as the root
Triad Type | Triad* | Pitch Classes | Degree | Eccentricity | Closeness Centrality |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Minor Triads | d♯m | {3,6,10} | 1 | 1 | 0.5 |
Diminished Triads | c° | {0,3,6} | 1 | 1 | 0.5 |
Above is a graph showing opportunities for parsimonious voice leading between triads*. Each line connects two triads that have two common tones, while the third tone changes by one generic scale step.

The prime form of this scale is Scale 333
Scale 333 | ![]() | Bogitonic |
The pentatonic modal family [1113, 651, 2373, 1617, 357] (Forte: 5-28) is the complement of the heptatonic modal family [747, 1431, 1629, 1881, 2421, 2763, 3429] (Forte: 7-28)
The inverse of a scale is a reflection using the root as its axis. The inverse of 1113 is 837
Scale 837 | ![]() | Epaditonic |
Only scales that are chiral will have an enantiomorph. Scale 1113 is chiral, and its enantiomorph is scale 837
Scale 837 | ![]() | Epaditonic |
