Escala Musical o Escala Diatónica - Estudio de Escalas Mayores y Menores Para Clarinetes
La Escala Musical o Diatónica se define como una secuencia ordenada de notas naturales y sonidos musicales. Estas notas se organizan según una estructura y un orden determinado, generalmente por su altura o entonación. En una escala ascendente, cada nota es más aguda que la anterior, mientras que en una escala descendente, cada sonido es más grave que el anterior. La progresión en la escala continúa hasta incluir todas las notas necesarias. Por lo tanto, la Escala Diatónica es una sucesión de siete sonidos más la repetición del primero, dispuestos por grados conjuntos según las leyes de tonalidad.
La función principal de la Escala es establecer la base tonal de una melodía o composición musical. Gracias a la serie de sonidos que conforman una Escala Musical, se pueden realizar combinaciones entre ellos para generar nuevas sonoridades y crear bases armónicas para desarrollar un ambiente sonoro.

The Austrian clarinettist and composer Alfred Uhl (1909-92), born and trained in Vienna, has gained an international reputation for his film music scores, orchestral and chamber music works. His works move in a tonal framework, combining a differentiated rhythm and catchy melody. Thus, Uhl developed his own personal humorous style which he also realized in his studies. His study cycle is a standard work of teaching literature for clarinet. Almost every aspect of clarinet playing technique is .covered in Uhl's study work. Apart from the technical educational goal, the musical content gets its fair share too: each study work is a little character piece which helps the clarinettist to effectively express his musical imagination independently of technical obstacles. A new edition in one volume with practising tips by Prof. Reiner Wehle.
