I start up "Mora piya" in Nayaki Kanada again, and today the pieces more or less fall into place. Yesterday's somewhat scattered approach integrated itself overnight, and (after the necessary warmup in the lower register) my handling of the composition itself is much more relaxed and swinging. The antara also comes out freely and I start enjoying myself.

Because this slow-tempo khyal is filled with fast passagework, any shift to a slower melodic tempo carries the problem of energy loss. This means that if, for example, I want to craft a gesture that moves in 8th-note triplets (as opposed to the 32nd notes of the mukhda!), it's necessary to use gamaks or forceful voice production to sustain the music's power. 4/
