![]() ![]() ![]() The axis of balance for the Hungarian minor passes through the fifth and the flat nine, which is not included in the pitch set. Other examples include the Dorian mode of major and fifth mode of melodic minor. This scale (and its modes like the double harmonic scale) is the one perfectly balanced seven-note subset of the equally tempered chromatic scale: when its pitches are represented as points in a circle whose full circumference represents an octave, their average position (or "centre of mass") is the centre of the circle. It also contains an augmented fourth between the first and fourth degree. The scale contains two augmented seconds, one in each tetrachord. While in intervallic terms, it would be described as: 1 2 ♭3 ♯4 5 ♭6 7. Its step pattern is W, H, +, H, H, +, H, where W indicates a whole step, H indicates a half step, and + indicates an augmented second (three half steps, enharmonically equivalent to a minor third but functionally distinct). It is a symmetrical scale with a slightly ambiguous tonal centre, due to the many half steps. It is the same as the harmonic minor scale, except that it has a raised fourth scale degree to introduce an additional gap, or augmented second. It is the fourth mode of the double harmonic scale. ![]() The Hungarian minor scale, double harmonic minor scale, or Gypsy minor scale is a type of combined musical scale.
