“The In-Between Notes: Understanding the Subtle Sounds of Hindustani Classical Music” explores how subtle movements within swaras animate musical phrases, shape emotional expression, and create a distinctive aesthetic atmosphere. Rather than approaching microtonality through mathematical frameworks, Dr Mohan examines it through musical performance and the lived practice of Raags.
Drawing on illustrative examples from Raags such as Yaman, Bhairav, Multani, Miyan-ki-Todi, and Marwa, the session demonstrates how subtle variations, ornamentations, and melodic curves define a Raag’s unique personality—its swarup. These “in-between notes” are so integral that even minor alterations can fundamentally transform a Raag’s character.
This engaging talk offers an accessible introduction to the nuance, creativity, and sonic richness that characterise Hindustani classical music.
