The Yeden, as with the leading tone in
Western classical music, leads to the resolution of a makam. While the Yeden note is generally
octave equivalent with the 7th tone within the scale, sometimes it may be a different note. When it is a different note, sometimes its octave equivalent counterpart can be used in the scale, even if it is normally not in the scale. There are three different intervals that a Yeden can have in the
53 Tone Equal Temperament in Turkish makam theory, developed by and named after the
Arel-Ezgi-Uzdilek notation.
1. Bakiye The Bakiye is equivalent to 4
Holdrian Commas (90.57 cents), which as a leading tone is slightly sharper than the 100 cent Western
leading note. A scale that uses this Yeden is
Mahur.
2. Küçük Mücennep The Küçük Mücennep is equivalent to 5 Holdrian Commas (113.21 cents), which as a leading tone is slightly flatter than the 100 cent Western
leading note. A scale that uses this Yeden is
Rast.
3. Tanini The Tanini is equivalent to 9 Holdrian Commas (203.77 cents), which is very slightly flatter than the 200 cent Western
subtonic. The Yeden being either Bakiye or Küçük Mücennep away from the tonic provide for a stronger resolution. If the Yeden is a Tanini away from the tonic, it's a weaker resolution. A scale that uses this Yeden is
Uşşak. ==See also==
