Microtonal Segments These short scales were built by leaving one hole open and fingering downwards as if a regular chromatic scale were being played. Intervals as small as the thirty-second-tone are often produced. There are two sets of microtonal segments. The first is for all flutes, the second for open-hole flutes. The smallest intervals are found in set |. Composers may find the microtonal segments the most interesting of all microtonal possibilities. They can be used as presented or taken as a source set for the construction of unique pitch sequences. The double stops based on these scales often produce parallel microtonal scales. These multiple sounds are presented in a special section of Chapter 3. Fingerings: Rt.hand | fingerings forall pitches beneath this sign include the left hand postion of fingoring before the sign.
