Famous music which uses chromatic scales:
- Rimsky-Korsakov Flight of the Bumblebee (orchestral interlude from the opera, The Tale of Tsar Saltan)
- Julius Fucík "Entrance of the Gladiators" (Vjezd gladiátoru) march, Opus 68, which is universally recognized, often under the title "Thunder and Blazes", as one of the most popular theme tunes for circus clowns.
Nasty, but correct, notation for a chromatic scale which appears in a composition in C sharp minor: Beethoven's “Moonlight” Sonata (near the end)
