About this scale
The harmonic minor scale stands out for its augmented second (3 semitones) between the 6th and 7th degrees. This distinctive leap gives it a dramatic, Eastern-tinged character found in classical music, flamenco, and action film scores. The leading tone creates strong tension toward the tonic.
