Introduction to the Sitar: Origins and Evolution
The sitar is a plucked string instrument that originated from the Indian subcontinent and has been central to Indian classical music since the 18th century. The sitar's name derives from the Persian 'sehtar', meaning three strings, though the modern sitar typically has 18-21 strings. It gained international popularity through virtuosos like Ravi Shankar, influencing Western music in the 1960s. The instrument is known for its resonant sound, created by its sympathetic strings and its distinct gourd shape, which acts as a resonator.
Sitar Classifications: Styles and Variants
Ravi Shankar Style Sitar
This sitar style is named after the legendary Indian musician Ravi Shankar. It is known for its deep resonance and is tuned in a way that enhances its sustain. This style has gained global recognition for its association with Indian classical music and its prominence in the West.
Vilayat Khan Style Sitar
The Vilayat Khan style is lighter and produces a sharper, more melodic sound. This version of the sitar is tuned differently, emphasizing the melody over the sympathetic strings, making it more accessible to lighter, vocal-inspired compositions.
Electric Sitar
