"I have composed entirely different music which was not even thought by Beethoven or Mozart," Mathura Shrestha, a musician from Kathmandu told PTI. A bar is a measurement used in writing music.With his 2 minute 35 second song, "Ankha Bhitra Lukai Sake" or "I Have Hidden Inside My Eyes" 39-year-old Shrestha, has entered in the 20th Edition of Limca Book of Records. In the song he has created 19 bars and 11/4 beat music which he claims to be shortest bar music.
Usually, music is created by using 3/4,6/8,7/8,12/8 beats and 70 bars but Shrestha has composed music by using 11/4 bar and only 19 beats which he says is the shortest in the world of music. Shrestha is also the first Nepalese to have registered his name in the Limca Book of Records and now he is aiming for the Guinness Book of World Records.
