Tritaal/teentaal-Single Speed - (Thah)

The document discusses different speeds or layakaries of Indian rhythmic cycles called taals. It defines single, double, triple, and quadruple speeds where the speeds are multiplied by whole numbers compared to the single speed. Reverse speeds are fractions of the single speed, making them slower. Intricate speeds can be fractional multiples of the single speed, making them either faster or slower. Examples of taals at different speeds are provided, including starting points for notating double and triple speeds of a 16-beat taal within one cycle or avartan.

Layakari

Multiple Speeds- Every Layakari (Multiple Speed) is based upon the single speed,
that how much faster it is, comparing to the single speed.
Simple- Multiplied by the whole nos. and faster than the single speed, like Double,
Triple, Quadruple, 5/6/7/8 times faster speeds and so on.
Reverse- The value is less than the single speed/ slower than the single speed, i.e.-
2/3, ¾, 4/5 and so on
Intricate- Factional Layakaries, value of more than the single speed/ faster in
speed than the single speed, i.e.- 5/4 (1.25), 4/3, 3/2 (1.5), 7/4 (1.75) and so on

Layakaries (in one Avartan)-

Double of Tritaal- (in one Avartan/ Cycle)


Find the starting matra-
Total length of the Taal = 16 Beats
Double speed of Tritaal (16 Matras), in one cycle Avartan) will be summed up in 16/2 = 8 Matrs
So the starting matra to start writing double speed of Ektaal, in one Avartan will be after16-8= 8
beats.
Therefore, 9th Matra will be the starting point.

Triple speed of Tritaal (one Avartan)-


Will be summed up in 16/3 =5,1/3 matras
So the starting point will be after 16-5,1/3= 10,2/3 matras.
