Funny that - I saw the three piano concertos but for some reason just didn't register the names of the other two
I'll set a D, but later this evening, just on quickly now before my battery goes empty on my laptop - left my adapter elsewhere

Of the latter there are strong indications that the system of raga was influenced by maqam but they are separate entities, not derivations.
I don't know heaps on this subject but have delved into it a bit over the years, but wiki links are easier than typing.
I'm sorry, I should be setting a D, but I just don't feel like it at the moment. Maybe tomorrow, when my spines are down , or someone else can
I genuinely set questions which I think can be solved, but do try to come up with something new. I don't do it to show off, nor does it matter to me how somebody arrives at the answer, it's all harmless fun to me and I think here at least on AA it's all very cheerful. But I'm feeling a bit churlish at the moment so maybe I should go off and eat some slugs to help out a distressed gardener or two
