The Music of Hindostan c6.292

c6.292

This should be compared with Ex. 99. The change of key is most unusual, and does not appear to be recognized at all in the art-music. It is possible to suppose the tonic is the same throughout—E♭ in Ex. 93 and C in Ex. 99. But against this is the very definite close in C of Ex. 93, and the exact correspondence of the two sections of Ex. 99. They must stand, therefore, as rare instances of a change of tonic; in which case the mode also changes in Ex. 93 from Doric to Lydic,¹ but remains the same in Ex. 99.
