may be traced in the same way on the table; the third and seventh notes meeting, and descending, sounding one harmony. [Harmonies of Tones and Colours, The Twelve Scales Meeting by Fifths, page 31a]

[Harmonies of Tones and Colours, The Twelve Scales Meeting by Fifths, page 31a]

If we strike the ascending scales as written in musical again, beginning with the lowest A in the bass clef, we see that the second and sixth notes of each scale meet in higher harmony; the or of the scale which varies from the seven notes of its harmony is written to each note. We descend as written in musical upwards; each third and seventh note meet in lower harmony, and thus all exactly agree in their mode of development. Having examined the scales as written in the table below, where the or as before is marked to each note, but not to the keys, let us strike the key-notes, trinities, scales, and chords. The three harmonies of each key are written at the end of each line of musical . To descend, we follow the musical upwards, as before.

The Minor Gamut modulating in the meeting of fifths through seven octaves. We may here trace the , each fifth note becoming the higher key-note. But the sixth and seventh notes of the scale are discords. For example, in the key of A, the sixth note, F?, is a with the second note, B?; and the seventh note cannot be sounded as G# falling into the eighth, without being a with the third note, C?. No octave can be sounded in the Minor Scale, as it has risen into the higher key of E. [Harmonies of Tones and Colours, The Minor Gamut Modulating in the Meeting of Fifths61, page 65]
