Este artículo es un análisis introductorio en tres partes: antecedentes del &#347;ruti en el canto s&#257;man, composición del concepto de &#347;ruti (microtono) en el sistema musical de India, y, por último, reconstrucción hipotética de las escalas primarias del sistema tonal de Bharata. La teoría musical de India muestra un proceso teórico de constantes y variables, así como de rupturas y continuidad a lo largo de su desarrollo histórico.]]></p></abstract>
