Government of IndiaThe tonic note on the chordophone: its gradual development in Indian music
Author: Chakravarti, Indrani
Keywords: Musical instruments--India
Chordophone
Issue Date: 1981
Publisher: Sangeet Natak Akademi, New Delhi
Description: According to Abhinavagupta, during the Bharata's time the Vina (chordophones) was divided under three heads, viz. principal or mukhya (mattakokila), secondary or anga (vipanci and citra) and subsidiary or pratyanga (Ghosa and Nakul). In the course of this discussion, whenever the names of 'vina' of'vainika' are used in Natyasastra, the commentator Abhinavagupta clearly links those with the mattakokila and its player. This study is trying to prove that the idea of attributing Persian influence on Indian musical notes and system of the tonic note as Sadja too, is baseless.
