Scale: C augmented
Description: The symmetric augmented scale, a six-note collection built from alternating minor 3rds and semitones. It is closely related to augmented triads and is used in late-Romantic and early modernist music and in jazz to create highly chromatic, shifting lines over dominant or augmented chords.
Notes (pitch classes): C, Eb, E, G, Ab, B
Intervals (formula): 1P, 2A, 3M, 5P, 5A, 7M
