(This should not be confused with the identical term also used by musicologists to describe a scale including only two notes.)Īnhemitonic pentatonic scales can be constructed in many ways. (For example, in Japanese music the anhemitonic yo scale is contrasted with the hemitonic in scale.) Hemitonic pentatonic scales are also called "ditonic scales", because the largest interval in them is the ditone (e.g., in the scale C–E–F–G–B–C, the interval found between C–E and G–B). Hemitonic scales contain one or more semitones and anhemitonic scales do not contain semitones. Musicology commonly classifies pentatonic scales as either hemitonic or anhemitonic.
