Description
Tintal is without any doubt the most common tal in the north Indian classical system of music. In this regard it has been referred to as “Maha tal” (“the great tal“). Tintal is also transliterated as “Teental“, but it is also called “Trital“. These last names reflect the three claps of its vibhags structure.
The structure of Tintal is so amazingly symmetrical that it presents a very simple rhythmic structure against which a performance can be laid. It is composed of four vibhags of four matras each. These vibhags are represented by a clap, clap, wave, and a clap.
The structure of Tintal is shown below:
