Note 57 — CONCERNING MUSIC.51 ONESICRATES, SOTERICHUS, LYSIAS.
Reading edition
The relations of the enharmonic scale to the ordinary diatonic are thus stated by Westphal (pp. 124-126), b being here substituted for the German h:—
Enharmonic. Diatonic.
ὑπάτη _e_ | _e_ ὑπάτη
παρυπάτη ἁρμον. δ |
λιχανός ἁρμον. _f_ | _f_ παρυπάτη
| _g_ λιχανός
μέση _a_ | _a_ μέση
παραμέση _b_ | _b_ παραμέση
τριτη ἁρμον. δ |
παρανήτη ἁρμον. _c_ | _c_ τρίτη
| _d_ παρανήτη
νήτη _e_ | _e_ νήτη
The δ inserted between e and f and between b and c is called diesis, and represents a quarter-tone. The section in Westphal containing this scheme will greatly aid the interpretation of § 11 of Plutarch. (G.)
