The concept was indicated by Bartók's folk music derived view of each note of the chromatic scale as being "of equal value" and thus to be used "freely and independently" (autobiography) and supported by references to the conception below in his Harvard Lectures (1943). The concept may be extended to the construction of non-diatonic modes from the pitches of more than one diatonic mode such as Distance Model s including 1:3, the alternation of semitones and minor thirds, for example C-Eb-E-G-Ab-B-C which includes both the tonic and dominant as well as "'two of the most typical degrees from both major and minor' (E and B, Eb and Ab, respectively) ( 1975 p.132)".
