  1. tone system

    A tone system, in music, is a system that defines relationships of relative pitch between notes or tones in a scale. It is a foundational structure, serving as a framework for a piece of music. The system decides the number of tones, their frequencies, and how they are grouped together in scales or modes. Examples of tone systems include the diatonic scale in Western music or the pentatonic scale in traditional Chinese music. Different cultures' tonalities are often determined by their own unique tone systems.
