The complete encyclopedia is also available as a book set of 12 volumes. A complete encyclopedia of scales has always been on every musician's wish-list. There are many reasons why having a collection containing all scales in music fascinates us, but the most attractive one is that it is universal. "There are 2048 scales in music, no more, no less, 12 of them are intervals (scales with only two notes), and 344 of the other 2036 scales are source scales. The amount of scales in music will never change, it will always be 2048. This not only makes this encyclopedia universal but also eternal." The Universal Encyclopedia of Scales contains 3305 pages showing every scale in music over the circle of fifths, notated in 12 keys with piano keyboard and guitar fretboard. It includes intervallic and degrees formula, symmetry, source scales and related modes.
