Excerpt from Church Music, Vol. 1: June, 1906
A change of considerable importance is found in the Ger man tradition Of the plainchant. In the earliest staff nota tion codices Of German origin we find a frequent use of the minor third a - c, where codices of other countries have the second a - b-flat or a - b. Wagner has no doubt that the ver sion of the non - German codices is the original, but thinks that the change is older than the Oldest staff notation mss. He is of opinion that the reason for the change is to be found in the difficulty that attaches to the semitone. Rie mann, in the work quoted above, sees in these things rem nants of the pentatonic scale, of which traces are to b found in many other phrases Of plainchant, such as the in tonation of the per omnia before the Preface. Radically the two views are identical.
