can some music knower let me understand the difference bw hindustani and carnatic?
Hindustani- raga based, stresses pure notes, alapanas are elaborated from note to note, different shailey, a separate repertoire for instrumental and vocal, sarangi is a major accompaniment, while the violin reigns in Carnatic.
Carnatic- kriti based, gamaka, phrase to phrase, has styles,same kriti-based compositions as the vocalists, concept of tani avaratanam is found in Carnatic music, while the tabla player intersperses the main artist’s rendering with solos. concept of upapakkavadyam does not exist in Hindustani music.
