Music / Screenplay
Italian term or phrase: per scale difettive
Le tecniche compositive usate:
- sincroni espliciti col montaggio: uscita dei temi nei PP, plenum orchestrale nei CL, transizione motivica nei Carrelli;
- commento musicale dello stato emotivo dei personaggi (preoccupazione, rilassatezza, curiosità, inganno, aggressività, calma);
- uso di sistemi musicali differenti a seconda della situazione: tonale, atonale, ***per scale difettive***, per scale a toni interi, misto.

Always the same screenplay in the part devoted to the soundtrack.
Thank you again!

defective scales
Explanation:
"Two of the scales are incomplete, viz. the Ionian, which has six notes and the compass of a Seventh, and the Syntono-lydian, which consists of five notes, with the compass of a Minor Sixth. We naturally look for parallels among the defective scales noticed in the Problems and in Plutarch's dialogues."
