Options for question 9

Show the answer and explanation
CorrectNot quiteAnswer D

Correct answer: D

Explanation

  1. Carnatic is the classical music of southern India; Hindustani is that of the north.

  2. Both share the concepts of raga and tala and diverged from a common root, largely after the arrival of Persian influence in the north.

  3. Dhrupad and thumri are not systems but forms within Hindustani music.

Worth noting

A practical difference: a Carnatic concert is built mostly on composed pieces, while a Hindustani one gives far more time to improvisation around the raga.
