==Whole-tone scale==
{{Main|Whole-tone scale}}
The whole-tone scale is a series of whole tones. It has two non-enharmonically equivalent positions: C D E F{{music|sharp}} G{{music|sharp}} A{{music|sharp}} C and D{{music|flat}} E{{music|flat}} F G A B D{{music|flat}}. It is primarily associated with the French impressionist composer [[Claude Debussy]], who used it in such pieces of his as ''[[Voiles]]'' and ''Le vent dans la plaine'', both from his first book of piano ''[[Préludes (Debussy)|Préludes]]''.

This whole-tone scale has appeared occasionally and sporadically in jazz at least since [[Bix Beiderbecke]]'s impressionistic piano piece ''In a Mist''. [[bebop|Bop]] pianist [[Thelonious Monk]] often interpolated whole-tone scale flourishes into his improvisations and compositions.
