كشف الأسرار عن كركرةِ الأحبار في تأويل الأدوار
Kashf al-Asrār ʿan Karakarat al-Aḥbār fī Taʾwīl al-Adwār
Résumé
Offering solutions for the 28 maqāmāt system of Shihāb-a-d-Dīn and the 22 śruti system of Bharata Muni. As I was researching the first issue of my book on the theory and practice of Arabian music [Beyhom, 2010c], I was amazed at certain texts which were either written in the form of urjūzāt or attempted at explaining the unexplainable as if it were common truth. I reacted in an Occidental manner expecting rationalism in an irrational planet. However, I was not alone in my wonderings, as my parallel research on the Indian musical scale was gradually showing that there was no satisfactory explanation to the phenomenon of the well-known 22 śrutis to an octave. Having spent years studying various forms of octave divisions as well as meticulous analyses of specific scores, I found myself on the way of solving, gradually, a good deal of Arabian music riddles which had always intrigued me. At the same time, I was struggling with my understanding of the śruti for the reason that early Indian treatises are written in Sanskrit, a language which is obscure to me. Neither could I understand commentators and read the treatises in their original languages and attempt at understanding if previous researchers did not wear blinkers comparable to the ones of their counterparts for Arabian music.These approaches of a wide panel of music theories, combined with a critical point of view on previous Pythagorean-biased and nationalist-influenced studies allow me, at present, to make two hypotheses for riddle solving, characteristic of modal musicology.
