This is a very good book on korvais or mukthayams used in Karnatic percussion. The author has segregated them into simple and straight forward mukthayams called as upam mukthayams and the more complex ones called as pradhanam mukthayams. The author has dissected the structure of these sequences precisely and brought out thousands of combinations of the mukthayams of a large number of varieties. They are useful to both the musicians for use in their swara patterns as well as for the percussionists who can use them in normal rendering, pallavi rendering and in tani avartanams. The book which is in fact a monograph on mukthayams is well written and it has good clarity. I have great pleasure in recommending it both the musical community as well as the upcoming percussionists who can incorporate many of these in their rendering.
