Prastara
This term refers to the permutation of musical notes through all possible combinations.
Given the existence of seven fundamental notes, there are mathematically five thousand and forty (5040) different combinations that can be derived from this process.
This procedure is known as Prastāra, and each of these resulting combinations is referred to as Tāna.
However, if only six notes are taken into consideration, the potential combinations reduce to seven hundred and twenty (720).
For a group of five notes, there are one hundred and twenty (120) variations.
A group of four notes produces twenty-four (24) combinations.
A group of three notes can be arranged in six (6) different ways.
In the case of a group of two notes, only two (2) combinations are possible.
Clearly, with just a single note, there is only one possibility.
For example:
Sāmika Prastāra 3 notes:
- SRG, RSG, SGR, GSR, RGS, GRS
Svarātara Prastāra 4 notes:
1. SRGM
