[1]https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schenkerian_analysis Perhaps the theoretical approach of Schenker would be helpful to communicate the similarities you are finding between the Bull Fantasia, Raga Yaman and maybe Castello. Schenker's system is based on the dynamic pull of scale tones. While to me the particularities of the musical elaborations unique to each composer/era/culture is of more interest, his approach might clarify the unity of what you are hearing.

But with Fantasy X and XII: Did you *really* listen? (I hope your disbelief did not impair your hearing. This human trait has been proven scientifically.) And if it's not connected, I would be very happy to know: how do you explain the total weirdness of especially those two fantasies? There is nothing remotely resembling this, and I have played and listened a lot. I would very much love to get other keyboard pieces in that style then, regardless :) However (also to you, G. C.) - it is not the compatible mode, it is also basic motives of the Raga that can be found exactly at the right place, and the matching . I have yet to organize a real meeting between for example a singer and a keyboardist. If anything, this could be a nice intercultural exchange. My old musicology professor by the way does agree with the finding. Though due to tempo inconsistecies (if oyu change tempo digitally, it sound terrible) I did not post it: If a Hindustani flute player matches Fantasy XII, it sounds like a Castello Sonata. I will try and prepare a mix with that, but I have not yet found the right music source. Anyone interested may get an mp3 in private email.
