The Music and Musical Instruments of Southern India and the Deccan c9.48

c9.48

Some of the melodies in their conclusion imply a modulation into the relative minor, showing thereby a trace of the old pentatonic scale. Examples will be found among the following melodies of endings with the fifth, the sixth, the second, the second, and (like those of the Servians) with the third. Closes on the fourth are rarely if ever employed. An example will nevertheless be found in the Khyal upon page 88.
