Is it me, or did he screw up the V highlight on the left hand side of the wheel? He has a G# on the outer ring partnered with its neighboring G and A on the inn

Is it me, or did he screw up the V highlight on the left hand side of the wheel? He has a G# on the outer ring partnered with its neighboring G and A on the inner ring - but to fit with the pattern it should be the A on the inner ring partnered with the G#/Bb on the outer ring.
- zhemao 10y agoHuh, yeah you're right, there's a mistake in Coltrane's original version.
- evanb 10y agoI noticed that straight away---and I hardly know anything about music! It just breaks the symmetry pattern, so it couldn't be right.
- Gormisdomai 10y agoIs there a chance it was on purpose. To give the music a particular sound?
- anentropic 10y agoyes it must be a mistake it seems in other drawings which appear to also be by Coltrane they are drawn as you suggest, A + Ab/Bb preserving the symmetry https://roelhollander.eu/en/blog-saxophone/Coltrane-Tone-Circle/ https://roelhollander.eu/en/blog-saxophone/Coltrane-Tone-Cir...
