.If a piece of music
was to be written to reflect development of musical scales, nothing better
than the theme from Ricard Strauss' Thus Spake Zarathustra could
be written.
If you play the mp3 or midi and follow the course of the large
circled numbers inside the score [below], you can read the comments and
simultaneously hear the Strauss harmonic effect of each new addition to
the scale. [You may have to maximize your window to see full length
and widths of score staffs. Wait for score image to load -- it'll take some
time, it's a large image -- about 100 seconds to load (dialup). Then
click on the score to hear the music mp3.]
