SPOHTIVE EXEECISES UPON MUSICAL NOTATION. 



IN TWO PAETS. — PAET II. 



SECTION IV.— THE SCALE. 



But tliere is a eegular progression of tlie 

 notes from E to E (or from any one note 

 to its eighth, or octave), which is called the 

 Scale. This scale, which is called the 

 Natueal or Diatonic Scale, to distinguish 

 it from another called the Cheomatic, is 

 formed of certain tones and semitones, fol- 

 lowing each other in a wonderfully natural 

 manner. 



Beginning at E, the semitones are be- 

 tween the notes G and A, and D-and E, the 

 third and fourth, and the seventh and eighth 

 of the scale, thus : —

Let the key-note (the note from which the 

 scale starts) stand for the figure 1. In the 

 present instance, and for the purposes of the 

 next problem, let that note be E ; F will 

 represent 2; G, 3 ; A, 4 ; B, 5 ; C, 6; D, 7; 

 and the last, E, 8. Get this well fixed on the 

 mind, and then resolve the following —
