Scale Name Tradition: Named After Composers
Scales that have been named after composers, excluding Messiaen who has his own category. This category also includes by extension scales named after famous works, for example Petrushka (Stravinsky) and Prometheus (Scriabin).
Hey. These tradition pages are a big mess right now. If you look below you will see lots of chaos and duplication and misspellings. I'm working on a new organization scheme for scale names; when that's ready it will all look way better and everything will be accurate.
TL;DR Please ignore this page. Or, peruse it at your own peril.
