About the C# whole tone scale
The whole tone scale is a six-note symmetrical scale built entirely of whole steps. It has a dreamy, floating, and ambiguous sound with no clear tonal center. It was famously used by Debussy and is common in jazz, film scoring, and any context where a sense of suspended reality is desired.
