[संगीत] जब मैं अकेला होता हूं, कुछ कहता हूं, सुन लेता हूं। गहरे विचार के सागर में कुछ आता है कुछ जाता है। गहन मौन का वह आंगन एक श्वास की हल्की सी आहट आती है और जाती है। कुछ देर मौन के साथ-साथ जीवन के क्षण कट जाते हैं। व्हेन आई एम अलोन आई स्पीक एंड लिसन टू मसेल्फ। एंड इन द वास्ट ओशन ऑफ डीप थॉट्स आइडियाज कम एंड गो। व्हेन इन सॉलिट्यूड व्हेन इन सॉलिट्यूड इवन द फेंटेस्ट विस्पर ऑफ़ ब्रेथ इज़ नोटिसेबल एंड टाइम फ्लोस विथ द स्टिलनेस एंड लाइफ मूव्स ऑन इन अ क्वाइट मोमेंट। आई थिंक दिस इज़ अ गुड डिस्क्रिप्शन ऑफ़ एन आर्टिस्ट ...

Core Elements of Kathak Kavita Composition - Kathak Kavita compositions utilize specific, constant tempos, typically fast-paced, composed within a Taal (cycle of beats) where words follow the Taal's structure [1] - Kavita compositions in Kathak primarily use Sanskrit, Awadhi, or Hindi literature, often describing gods and goddesses, serving as the subject matter's conduit [1] - Percussive bols (rhythmic syllables) from instruments like the Pakhawaj or Tabla, along with sounds like "ta thei tat thei," enhance the emotion and storytelling in Kavita compositions [1] - A Tihai, a phrase repeated thrice, concludes any rhythmic composition in Kathak [1] - Emotion (Ras) dictates the literature and bols used, conveying the essence of the Kavita [1] - Choreography transforms vocal compositions with hand gestures, body movements, spins, footwork, and facial expressions, bringing the story to life for viewers [1] Significance of Kavita in Kathak - Kathak began as a storytelling medium, now performed as a recital with various compositions; Kavita is both rhythmic and expressive [1] - Unlike rhythmic compositions requiring briskness and Abhinaya compositions needing subtle nuances, Kavita demands both from the dancer [1] - Through Kavita, the writer and dancer can educate, entertain, and evoke emotions in the audience [1] Literary and Rhythmic Aspects - Kavita compositions can be composed in specific Taals, such as a Shiv Kavita in Dhamaar Taal (14 beats) with divisions of 5-2-3-4 [1] - Kavita can be composed in decimal Taals, such as a Taal of 22 and a half beats, divided into 12 and 10 and a half [1] - Kavita compositions can be composed in a specific Jaati (groove), following the Taal's structure with syllables per beat as per the composition's groove [1] - Kavita compositions use figures of speech like alliteration (Anupras Alankar in Hindi literature), as seen in Krishna and Ardhanarishwar Kavit [1] Educational Nature - Kavita can educate about Indian history, such as excerpts from the Ramayana, exemplified by Guru's Sita Swayamvar Kavita [1]
