Pentatonic scale
In music, a pentatonic scale is a scale with five notes per octave. Pentatonic scales are very common, and found all over the world: in the tuning of the Ethiopian krar and the Indonesian gamelan, in the melodies of African-American spirituals and of French composer Claude Debussy. {{wiktionarypar|pentatonic}}
