How does pathet differ from Western “mode” and Indian raga?
What will be an ideal response?
• Pathet is more complicated than its Western counterpart, "mode," which refers simply to scale type (see above).
• Pathet is a more general concept than Indian raga. The Indian raga refers to an entire melodic system involving interval structure, ornamentation, contour, and other nuances. Pieces are not transposed from one raga to another raga (see Chapter 6). Hundreds of ragas exist, but only a few pathet exist for the two scale systems. Transposition from one pathet to another is common. (See also above explanation of how major scales are transposed to different pitch levels.)
