The Cooking of Music

Rate this book
This book is an introduction for the lay person to complex concepts of classical music with deceptive simplicity, using analogies and stories from everyday life. Sheila Dhar takes us into the inner courtyards of gharanas, especially the Kirana Gharana. In richly anecdotal, affectionate essays she tells us of Abdul Karim Khan, Begum Akhtar, Abdul Wahid Khan, of Faiyyaz and Niaz Ahmed Khan, evoking a world of laughter, music and grace.
