Inhoudsopgave:
\u003cP\u003eDavid Nelson wrote and compiled\u003cI\u003e Konnakkol Manua\u003c/I\u003e\u003cI\u003el\u003c/I\u003e to assist teaching an advanced course in the rhythmic compositions of Karnatak (South Indian) music. This new instructional book picks up where his previous book, \u003cI\u003eSolkattu Manual\u003c/I\u003e, left off. It includes advanced exercises for developing control of odd pulse divisions, such as three and five notes per beat. There is a chapter on the sources of Karnatak tÄas (meters), and another on the evolution of rhythmic compositionsâtold through the work of three generations of musicians. The main body of the book comprises full tani Ävartanams (spoken percussion solos) in three tÄas, together with instructions for practice, and Solkattu notation. Nelson created 150 instructional videos to accompany the text. They are accessible at www.weslpress.org/readers-companions/.\u003c/P\u003e |
