Bharath's Experiment with the Two Vīṇā

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  24 December 2009

Extract

Ever since the West began to take an interest in the music of India, the great affinity of the Indian system with that of Greece has been one of the first characteristics to attract notice. As early as 1782 Sir William Jones remarked on it at length in what is perhaps the first detailed article on the subject written in any European language, entitled ‘On the musical modes of the Hindus’. Originally this was published by the Asiatic Society of Bengal, but subsequently it was incorporated in a delightful collection published by Sourendro Mohun Tagore called Hindu music from various authors.
