Kartvelian scale

Revision as of 14:52, 18 April 2023 by Eliora (talk | contribs) ("candidate for well temperament"... well temperament of what? Is there anything to suggest Georgian music is intended to approximate 7edo??)

The Kartvelian (heptatonic) scale is the traditional scale of Georgian folk music.

The scale is an alternating pattern of 4edf and 3ed4/3, conjoined together and closing at the octave. Musicologically, it is a candidate for the prototypical well temperament, if regarded to be an approximant of 7edo in cultural practice[citation needed].
