Vilambit Tintal Theka Variations

About the Variations

In this section and the next, there are practice variations, accompaniment variations, and theka improvisations in vilambit and madhyalay tempos (slow and medium):

Practice variations introduce simple theka embellishments and fills (kism), but which are repetitive (usually the same embellishment repeats in each divisions of the tal). These are primarily for practice.
Accompaniment variations present embellishments and fills which are more typical of accompaniment and are not as repetitive.
Improvisation Demonstrations are improvised recordings of Rajneesh performing theka variations, mukhra, and tihai.
