Annotation
This book discusses how Indian Carnatic music, like language, survived and evolved from the early/mid eighteenth century, when the three requirements, i.e. a robust community of practitioners/listeners, a sizeable body of musical texts and a communicative need, were met for the first time in Indian music history.
