Pieces Large -scale: Large Scale and Small Scale Charts
There is often confusion about the meaning of the terms "large scale" and "small scale" as used with respect to charts. Part of the problem is that the terms do not have exact definitions and are applied to charts relative to each other. Think of the second figure in a chart-scale ratio (e.g., 1:10,000) as the denominator of a fraction. The larger this value, the smaller the fraction.Thus, a 1:80,000 chart is small scale in comparison to a 1:10,000 chart.
The small-scale chart, however, covers a larger geographic area than a large-scale chart of the same paper size. Remember: Small scale, large area; large scale, small area.

Grieg suffered from respiratory ailments for most of his life, and his fragile health may have caused him to avoid large-scale works like operas and symphonies. Nonetheless, his one large-scale work, the Piano Concerto, has, since its inception, been a pillar of the concert repertoire. The Peer Gynt suites (1876) are the most familiar of his other works, but his incidental music for Bj0rnson's play Sigurd Jorsalfar (1872; 1892) and the exquisite Hottterg Suite (1885), for string orchestra, are also masterpieces large -scale of their kind.
