Distillation of teaching of greatest living Indian musician.,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Classical Music of North India: The Music of the Baba Allauddin Gharana As Taught Byali Akbar Khan/Volume One : The First Years' Study (The Music ... Akbar Khan at the Ali Akbar College of Music) (Plastic Comb)
The bulk of this book consists of notated compositions as taught by Khansahib in class at the Ali Akbar Khan College in California. The music is in the prinicipal ragas of the 10 thaats. Although this is a small fraction of the wealth of music available in this tradition, it is plenty to get started. The rest of the book is a concise but still thorough presentation of form, style, history, and theory of North Indian music.A fantastic piece of work!

Exceptional book,
By k. deepak kapoor (Melbourne FL. USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Classical Music of North India: The Music of the Baba Allauddin Gharana As Taught Byali Akbar Khan/Volume One : The First Years' Study (The Music ... Akbar Khan at the Ali Akbar College of Music) (Plastic Comb)
This probably rates as the finest effort by Western Music students of Khan Saheb to document in ENGLISH the many compositions for volcal and instrumental music. Khan Saheb represents the spiritual and the sublime in Indian Classical Music. He is not only the greatest living Indian Musician and Teacher, but also a caring human being who loves his students as much as his own children. Let's hope that the next book from Khan Saheb or his students is forthcoming shortly. k. deepak Kapoor
