Sur & Taal ... Two sides of the same coin??

This is my first post of 2013.

I have been learning Classical Vocal from Mr. Vishal Moghe and Mr. Mukul Kulkarni these days.

Few days ago, my teacher, Mr. Vishal said, people think Sur and Taal are different, but in reality they are the same. I was puzzled, so I asked him, how so?

He said, a sur is a result of a sound wave which has a certain frequency. If that frequency changes, the sur gets altered. So when we say "a perfect sur", we know that the frequency of that sound wave is constant.

Now, what is frequency? its an interval after which the wave reaches its peak, which is the basis of a Taal as well !!!

Taal is basically beats being played at a certain frequency.

So technically both Sur are Taal are the same.

I found it quite interesting.

Hope this new year brings a lot of beautiful music your way :)

Cheers!
