A [[:Category:58-tone scales|58-note]] scale is as small as is possible for an epimorphic scale containing Genesis, for example [[genesisplus]]. By way of comparison, here is a Fokker block containing 35 of the 43 notes of Genesis: [[mynadiaechhemi]]. Mynadiaechhemi also contains a complete 11-limit [[tonality diamond]], and 58 is the smallest size of epimorphic scale for which that is possible. | A [[:Category:58-tone scales|58-note]] scale is as small as is possible for an epimorphic scale containing Genesis, for example [[genesisplus]].
