Hi,

Could somebody please post both types of chromatic scales (harmonic and melodic) in E?

Thanks

There is only one type of chromatic scale. Are you asking for sheet music of that, or for sheet music of the harmonic and melodic minor scales beginning on E?

For treble of bass clef?

Chromatic scales do have two kinds of adjacent intervals, anyway: minor seconds and augmented unisons. The minor seconds in an ascending chromatic scale beginning on C spelled C, C#, D, D#, E, F, F#, G, G#, A, A#, B, C are C#-D, D#-E, E-F, F#-G, G#-A, A#-B, and B-C. The augmented unisons here are C-C#, D-D#, F-F#, G-G#, and A-A#.

In Pythagorean tuning, the undisputed paradigm of tuning in Western European classical music for two millennia, augmented unisons are significantly larger than minor seconds. String players are traditionally taught to raise or lower intervals in the direction of their resolution, which also tends to make augmented unisons significantly larger than minor seconds.

In equal-temperament, augmented unisons and minor seconds sound the same, but we still distinguish them according to the musical context.

Were we to add chromatic pitches to an ascending E major scale such that a complete chromatic scale resulted, we would have E, E#, F#, FX, G#, A, A#, B, B#, C#, CX, D#, E. Were we to add chromatic pitches to descending E major scale such that a complete chromatic scale resulted, we would have E, D#, D-natural, C#, C-natural, B, Bb, A, G#, G-natural, F#, F-natural, E.
