Original Wikitext content:
The famous Partch scale is his 43 note Genesis or "pure" scale. The Wikipedia article on it is [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harry_Partch's_43-tone_scale|here]], and the scale itself [[partch_43|here]]. Other Partch scales are his 29-note [[partch_29-av|adapted viola scale]], his 37-note [[partch_37|draft exposition scale]], his 41 note [[partch_41a|exposition scale]] and his 43-note [[partch_43a|exposition scale]]. By removing 11/10 and 20/11 from the Genesis scale, we obtain a 41 note scale which can be called Genesis Minus; this scale is close to being a [[Fokker blocks|Fokker block]] and can be tweaked into one, for instance by [[garimagrodmonk|this scale]]. A 58 note scale is as small as possible for an epimorphic scale containing Genesis, for example [[genesisplus|this one]].
