A Comparative Study of Some of the Leading Music Systems of the 15th, 16th, 17th & 18th Centuries c15.21

c15.21

I propose now to complete this long discourse, I have in the foregoing portion touched in a succinct way the sruti, swara, raga, and thata portions of about 16 treatises My object in this has been, as I said, to show that by a study of the ancient works, we will be in a position to effect certain very beneficial results so far as our present music is concerned I have, therefore, explained which our old books are, which of them are available, and where, and what the system shown in them is, I now propose to show how the study of these is of practical use to us.
