'''Ivan Wyschnegradsky''' (May 14, 1893 – September 29, 1979) was a Russian composer, later of French citizenship (from 1920 onwards), primarily known for his microtonal compositions.

His microtonal works are mostly set in [[24edo]] (quarter tones), [[36edo]] (sixth tones), [[48edo]] (eighth tones), [[72edo]] (twelfth tones) and [[96edo]] (sixteenth tones), ~~but~~ he also has a composition in ~~(probably) compressed [[17edo]], possibly equivalent to~~ [[18edo]] (third tones) and another in [[31edo]].

His microtonal works are mostly set in [[24edo]] (quarter tones), with some compositions also in [[36edo]] (sixth tones), [[48edo]] (eighth tones), [[72edo]] (twelfth tones) and [[96edo]] (sixteenth tones). Some of his early compositions that include one [[12edo]] piano also have other instruments playing in finer divisions of the octave. In addition, he also has one composition in [[18edo]] (third tones) and another in [[31edo]].

One of his most known works, [https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_k2nbynilfoJaAfVQIgpX18m5dAbbqmMHE 24 Préludes dans l'échelle chromatique diatonisée à 13 sons], introduces an [[11L 2s]] [[MOS scale]], generated by a circle of "major fourths" of [[24edo]] (550[[Cent|¢]] ≈ [[11/8]]) and which he treats as a "diatonicized chromatic scale" in reference to the similar structure of the [[5L 2s|diatonic]] scale.
