¹ In the Journal of the English Folksong Society (vol. xvi), Miss Gilchrist records her belief that the typical Scotch pentatonic is the G scale. A cursory glance at the first hundred or so in Petri’s collection suggests that the Irish favourites are the G and A scales. (A song may be in a pentatonic scale although more than five distinct notes are touched in it, if it has only five substantive notes and the other one or two are used as passing notes.)
