Consequently, the octatonic scale is said to be symmetrical because it can be divided into equal and identical parts.<\/p>\n<p>There are two known variants of the octatonic scale; the octatonic whole-half and the octatonic half-whole. In the octatonic whole-half, a whole step comes before a half step, while in the octatonic half-whole, a half step comes before a whole step.<\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;Let&#8217;s take a look at C octatonic whole-half scale.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Starting from C:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,&amp;color=3300FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;the C octatonic whole half is formed by an alternation of whole steps and half steps until the octave is reached.<\/p>\n<p>A whole step from C:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,&amp;color=3300FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;is D:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,D,&amp;color=3300FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nHalf step from D is Eb:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,Eb,&amp;color=3300FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nWhole step from Eb is F:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,F,&amp;color=3300FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nHalf step from F is F#:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,Fs,&amp;color=3300FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nWhole step from F# is G#:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,Gs,&amp;color=3300FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nHalf step from G# is A:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,A,&amp;color=3300FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nWhole step from A is B:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,B,&amp;color=3300FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;and half step from B is C:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,,C&amp;color=3300FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nSo altogether the C octatonic scale whole-half scale:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,D,Eb,F,Fs,Gs,A,B,C&amp;color=3300FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n<em>&#8220;Let&#8217;s also take a look at the octatonic half-whole scale.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>From C:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,&amp;color=3300FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;a half step from C is C#:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,Cs,&amp;color=3300FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nWhole step from C# is D#:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,Ds,&amp;color=3300FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;half step from D# is E:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,E,&amp;color=3300FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nWhole step from E is F#:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,Fs,&amp;color=3300FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nHalf step from F# is G:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,G,&amp;color=3300FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nWhole step from G is A:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,A,&amp;color=3300FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nHalf step from A is Bb:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,Bb,&amp;color=3300FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nWhole step from Bb is C:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,,C&amp;color=3300FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nAltogether, here&#8217;s the C octatonic half whole scale:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,Cs,Ds,E,Fs,G,A,Bb,C&amp;color=3300FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nNow, both of these scales can be harmonized.
