By the term 'modal framework' we mean the accepted framework in which a certain musical repertoire is organized, as for instance, the Maqamat in Arab music or the Raga in Indian. Modal frameworks are currently considered to be melodic types, but no exact definition exists of these melodic types. Even the various theories do not present a precise determination of the modal framework and this is even more markedly lacking in performance practice.
