E♯ Chromatic Scale (All notes)

The E♯ Chromatic Scale does not have a Major or minor quality because all the notes are an equidistant one semitone apart. As a result there are no distinct intervalic differences, regardless of key, and so the E♯ Chromatic Scale is considered atonal or, lacking a tonal center. The E♯ Chromatic Scale contains all twelve available notes within an octave, E♯, F♯, G, G♯, A, A♯, B, C, C♯, D, D♯, E.
