Q30

Three minor queries about Desh/ Tilak Kamod. 1. Some Desh renditions feature the phrase. R-P-M-G-R-G-N-S. Is this acceptable? Or is it more appropriate in Tilak Kamod? 2. Some old recordings of Tilak Kamod are found with occasional komal nishad use in avaroh in addition to shuddha nishad in aroha. Is this an old form of the raga, or a liberty? 3. Is the use of komal gandhar in Desh permitted only in taar saptak? Any particular logic? Thank you in advance for your time and attention

Re- 1) There are a few movements in a raag which could be construed as
belonging to a similar raag. What I have noticed is that the preceding or
following movements of a questionable phrase could remedy the situation
Re- 2) I feel that such an introduction of an alien note could have been done by
a master musician ( Ust. Enayetkhan introducing Komal Gandhar in Tilak
kamod). This could have been followed by musicians and turned into a prakar.
3) I feel that introduction of such notes are done by noted musicians to ensure
release of tension and create an element of surprise. Perhaps the need for such
relief could have been felt when the raag has been performed upto Antara
section i.e. in tar saptak.I have noticed that musicians introduce komal ga after
creating tension through enabling movements. Even in Raag Dhani, sudhha re
is introduced in tar saptak
