We understand the anxiety and need of musicians to control and master their material, especially the musical notes and their combinations. The "Treasure of Musical Scales" now liberates the musician. All the scales, all the possible combinations of musical notes are here.
The 2048 scales of our musical tuning are presented and categorized according to the number of notes they contain (type), the intervals they include (interval vector), the set class they belong to (set class), their formation type (category), and their symmetry. All the musician has to do is try, select, and compose.
However, the scope of the "Treasure" is not limited to the recording and presentation of scales. It includes, in the second part, in a concise and visual format, the musical systems of combining musical heights that currently define our music: tonal harmony, jazz, Greek traditional music, Byzantine music, Arab-Turkish makam, neo-tonal harmony and modes, atonal theory, and the twelve-tone system.
It becomes clear that the "Treasure" aspires to be "the little encyclopedia of musical heights." It thus transforms into an auxiliary tool for study, analysis, and composition.
"The Treasure of Musical Scales will become the essential tool for those who love to deeply understand the laws that organize musical structure." Theodoros Antoniou, composer-conductor, professor at Boston University, President of the Association of Greek Composers
