== Other heptatonic scales == [[Image:Gypsy Minor Scale.png|thumb|Hungarian Gypsy scale]] If the interval of the augmented second is used, many other scales become possible. These include Gypsy I-{{music|flat}}II-III-IV-V-{{music|flat}}VI-VII [[Hungarian Gypsy scale|Hungarian]] I-II-{{music|flat}}III-{{music|sharp}}IV-V-{{music|flat}}VI-VII The scales are symmetrical about the tonic and dominant respectively and the names are sometimes used interchangeably. The [[double harmonic scale]], also known as the Byzantine or Hungarian,<ref name="Grove">''The New Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians'', second edition, edited by Stanley Sadie and John Tyrrell (London, 2001)</ref> scale, contains the notes C D E{{music|flat}} F{{music|sharp}} G A{{music|flat}} B C. [[Image:C Phrygian dominant scale.svg|thumb|Phrygian dominant scale {{audio|Phrygian dominant scale on C.mid|Play}}, also known as [[persian scale]]]] [[Phrygian dominant scale|Phrygian dominant]] or dominant harmonic minor I-{{music|flat}}II-III-IV-V-{{music|flat}}VI-{{music|flat}}VII This differs from the Phrygian in having a major third. It may also be considered built on the dominant of the harmonic minor scale. Neapolitan minor differs from the Phrygian in having a major seventh. [[Image:Enigmatic scale on C.png|thumb|Enigmatic scale on C {{audio|Enigmatic scale on C.mid|Play}}]] Verdi's [[Enigmatic scale|Scala Enigmatica]] I-{{music|flat}}II-III-{{music|sharp}}IV-{{music|sharp}}V-{{music|sharp}}VI-VII i.e. G A{{music|flat}} B C{{music|sharp}} D{{music|sharp}} E{{music|sharp}} F{{music|sharp}}, which is similar to the heptatonia tertia mentioned above, differing only in that the second degree here is flattened.
