Editing Hexatonic scale (section)

{{Short description|Scale with six pitches}}
In [[music]] and [[music theory]], a '''hexatonic scale''' is a [[scale (music)|scale]] with six [[pitch (music)|pitches]] or [[note (music)|notes]] per [[octave]]. Famous examples include the [[whole-tone scale]], C D E F{{music|sharp}} G{{music|sharp}} A{{music|sharp}} C; the augmented scale, C D{{music|sharp}} E G A{{music|flat}} B C; the [[Prometheus scale]], C D E F{{music|sharp}} A B{{music|flat}} C; and the [[blues scale]], C E{{music|flat}} F G{{music|flat}} G B{{music|flat}} C. A hexatonic scale can also be formed by stacking perfect fifths. This results in a [[diatonic scale]] with one note removed (for example, A C D E F G).
