Writing on music and misicians the author follows a recipe that has won her a devout following. She introduces the lay person to complex concepts of classical music with deceptive simplicity, using analogies and stories from every day life. She takes us into the inner courtyards of gharanas, espicially the Kirana Gharana , of which she was a student . In richly anecdotal, affectionate essays she tells us of Abdul Karim Khan, Begum Akhtar , Abdul Wahid Khan, of Faiyayaz and NIaz Ahmed khan , envoking a world of laughter , music and grace. In every essay she wears her considerable knowledge lightly, and whether eriting on subjects mundane or esoteric , communicates her ideas with wit and irrespressible energy. ISBN : 9788178240282
