  • Abstract is exactly "<span>Muddusvāmi Dīkṣita had the exposure of listening to European music through his younger brother Bālusvāmi Dīkṣita, who got trained to play European music in violin from the band master of Fort St. George. The influence of this led Muddusvāmi Dīkṣita to adapt and create the musical form Nōṭṭusvara.  A M Chinnaswāmi Mudaliyār in his monumental work – ‘Oriental Music in European Notation’ has given six Nōṭṭusvara-s (European airs), adapted to Sanskrit words by Muddusvāmi Dīkṣita in staff notation; found in common in Prathamābhyāsa Pustakamu by Subbarāma Dīkṣita as well. The aim of this paper is to compare these common Nōṭṭusvara-s in both the works and find the differences encountered. The area of research will be focused on analysis of differences found under various categories. Conclusion will be drawn upon the observations made with appropriate reasoning.</span>"
