CARNATIC BASICS - 8

Balaa-

I think there are pros and cons to both the styles- or approaches (western & carnatic). I shall try to elaborate & discuss about it..!!

everything has pros and cons. there can be no world without diads and triads.

everything in the world has a reason. all music systems have emerged for a good reason. but what i mean to say is carnatic system is complete. if u understand carnatic system u can assimilate any music system.

i know there are no notations in carnatic music for time factor, or how to play a phrase,like allegro, andante, adagio or adagietto. but carnatic music is not sheet music. everything is not on paper. it is up there.

in fact, carnatic music does not need paper at all. it is pure sravanam. meaning just by hearing u become more acquainted. there is an interesting reference.

'karna' means ear. atakam means which dances. the music that dances in ur ears is karnataka sangeetham.
