[INDOLOGY] Classical Indian musical theory

[Matthew Kapstein]

Dear Martin,

If your friend has not studied Indian music at all and is primarily interested in the Carnatic tradition, a useful introduction may be found in T. Viswanathan and M. H. Allen. Music in South India,
Oxford University Press, 2004. It includes a CD with recordings of the examples discussed in the text.

I hope your friend finds this helpful,
Matthew
