N.B.—1 to 2. G to A is a whole step

4 to 4 C to D is a whole step
5 to 6 D to E is a whole step

Let's revert to our scale of C for a

G.
C.D.E.F.G.A.B.C.
1-2^3-4-5-6-7-8
The half tones you will observe are
between 3 and 4 and 7 and 8, whereas
in the scale of G, the half tone should
fall on F sharp instead of F. Look
at your keyboard, the leading note is
a half tone above the third would make
it D to F sharp a major third, i.e.,
in the key of C, C and E is a major
third, key of D the major third is
D,E,F sharp.
The same distance can be relied
upon when counting from the keynote
or any starting point.

gives record dealers pensonalized in-
side stories that record buyers will
want to hear, and dealers will wish
