This media depicts a
musical scale
outside of a specific musical context. Scales, consisting of an ordering outside of time by pitch class (no "
distinctiveness
"), may be used in compositions by multiple composers ("common material"), and may not be readily apparent in compositions. As such, a musical scale is a musical concept or technique, which is considered
too simple to be eligible
for

, or which consists only of technique, with no original creative input.
