It is also interesting that many, perhaps most, patients with this condition also have skin allergies, eczema and/or asthma. The patient with moderate to severe icthyosis often has problems sweating due to the buildup of scales on the skin. The scales essentially seal the sweat glands.
For now, it is good to know the names. These names apply to all major and minor scales. 1  1st-Tonic. 2  2nd-Supertonic. 3  3rd-Mediant. 4  4th-Subdominant. 5  5th-Dominant. 6  6th-Submediant. 7  7th-Leading Tone.
The word chromatic actually means colourful - the scales are very colourful since they use ALL 12 different notes available instead of just 7 of them! The scales you have studied up till now-major and minor-are in a group called diatonic scales.Diatonic scales all contain 7 notes and are firmly based on a key-and the keynote, or the first note of the scale, is the TONIC. Chromatic scales are not in any particular key.he notes we have found are Eb, D, Eb, E, F. The E flat is repeated, so we should ignore the first one, which will give us four notes in total: D-Eb-E-F. These are four consecutive notes which are part of a chromatic scale.
