Cet ouvrage présente 454 gata-s ou thèmes instrumentaux sur 164 raga-s. Ils proviennent de diverses sources : Pandit Lal Mani Misra, de Dr. K. C. Gangrade, de ses anciens maîtres, mes propres thèmes composés pour le doctorat de sitar, etc. Ils sont écrits dans le système de Pandit Bhatkhande (svarlipi), le seul parfaitement adapté à la notation de la musique de l’Inde. Son apprentissage est ludique et facile : il suffit de mémoriser 12 signes (7 notes de musique et 5 signes de métrique correspondant aux mouvements du plectre ou de l’archet) ! Heu ... rêveriez-vous d'écrire une sonate ou un thème de jazz en notation indienne ? Enfin, pas besoin d'avoir une agreg d'anglais pour comprendre le texte, essentiellement composé de thèmes.
Le seul véritable challenge pour le lecteur sera de donner vie à ces squelettes de thèmes. Pour ce faire, il devra se remémorer les caractéristiques du raga. Alors seulement, le thème sera pleinement représentatif, les improvisations seront « dedans » et le raga deviendra un être mélodique vivant. Heu ... rêveriez-vous d'écrire une sonate ou un thème de jazz en notation indienne ?
