Abstract
Abstract After a new reading of P.CtYBR inv. 4510, combined with a musical analysis, it is possible to detect the presence of three musical pieces, written respectively in diatonic scales of hypo-iastian, iastian and hyper-iastian. These three melodies are notably different in their composition. The first one shows a large variety of rhythmical figures, uses chromatic degrees and metaboles, when the two others seem to be written in a soberer way. In particular, the hypothesis of a new scale, created by the componer for this first piece only, is proposed here.
