摘要:Ragas belonging to the same thaat can evoke quite different emotions, sometimes even opposite emotions such as joy and pathos. The two ragas Kafi and Bageshree in Hindustani classical music belong to the same thaat, namely the Kafi thaat, and use the same notes, but while Kafi evokes joy, Bageshree is referred to as a karuna rasa raga or a raga of pathos. These notes are likely to have different probabilities, conditionally and unconditionally and hence their entropies are also different in the two ragas in question. The present paper gives this quantified information differentiating the two ragas as a supplement to their aesthetic difference.
