In Reply to: That is F# Pentatonic. Same as C, a tritone away. posted by oldmkvi on September 29, 2024 at 05:52:48:
Oldmkvi - That's a useful approach to the Pentatonic scale by stacking 5ths.
Following through, if you add a fifth below C and one above E, you have all the notes of a C major Diatonic scale.
Playing just the black keys for a pentatonic scale is also a very useful concept.
If you can play (or find the notes for) a melody or chord using only the black notes, it is by definition Pentatonic.
If the notes you are using can all be found using only the white keys, it is Diatonic.
And if you must use both white and black keys to play a melody or chord, it is Chromatic.
The distinction between these three categories is used by, as one example, Debussy, to compose contrasting segments and give a sense of growth to the music.
