Triads

As mentioned above in the context of Stravinsky's Petrushka chord, both the C


major and F# major triads are obtainable from a single permutation of the diminished


scale. In fact eight major and minor triads can be obtained from each permutation of


the scale. If one takes the Db diminished scale as outlined above, one can produce


the following triads:


C major (C E G)
C minor (C Eb G)
Eb major (Eb G Bb)
Eb minor (Eb Gb Bb)
F# major (F# A# C#)
F# minor (F# A C#)
A major (A C# E)
A minor (A C E)
