Kamasutram, generally known to the Western world as Kama Sutra, is an ancient Indian text on human sexual behavior, widely considered to be the standard work on love in Sanskrit literature. The text was composed by Vatsyayana, as a brief summary of various earlier works belonging to a tradition known generically as Kama Shastra. Kama is literally desire. Sutra signifies a thread, or discourse threaded on a series of aphorisms. Sutra was a standard term for a technical text, thus also the Yogasutram of Patanjali. The text is originally known as Vatsyayana Kamasutram ("Vatsyayana's Aphorisms on Love"). Tradition holds that the author was a celibate scholar. He is believed to have lived sometime between the 1st to 6th centuries C.E., probably during the great cultural flowering of the Gupta period.

Do you mean musical notes or musical notation?\n\nBoth have been around for a very, very long time.  In Western civilization, for example, the Greek mathematician Pythagoras studied the characteristics of music very carefully.  He made an instrument called a "monochord" (a one-stringed instrument) and learned about how to create different notes on his instrument by shortening the string.  His ideas about music still affect Western music greatly today.

I'm not very good on history of music, but back in the middle ages plainsong was the norm. Everybody sang the same tune. Then towards the end of the 12th choirs started having one group sing an octave higher. Somebody had the idea of having the two groups cross over musically. Composers began to realise that more interesting effects could be achieved by having different layers of music.

Well, ancient India developed writing (Sanskrit) before almost everyone (with the exception of the Cuniform found in Mesopotamia).  Additionally, in India they developed cities, a complex caste system (where people were divided into different socioeconomic classes) and a strong written and oral tradition (see the Vedas, the Baghavadgita, etc).  Additionally, there are many who believe that India had the first real civilization as much as 14000 years ago, but that their initial advancement was set back by a rise in the sealevel due to glacial runoff (the thawing of the most recent ice age, actually).  There are even speculations that they possessed advance techology.  For example, there is an account in the Gita about a weapon that sounds a lot like a nuclear weapon.  Additionally, Alexander the Great (not a guy known for exageration) swore up and down that when he invaded that area he was attacked by "flying machines".  Very interesting story.
