Music (General)
संगीत विमर्श
₹395पुस्तक के पच्चीस अध्यायों को पच्चीस शोध के रूप में देखा जा सकता है. संगीत के प्राचीन और मह्त्त्वपूर्ण आकर ग्रंथों पर आगम के प्रभाव पर कभी गहन शोध नहीं हुआ, न ही इस ढंग से विस्तृत विचार हुआ की संगीत और आगम में परस्पर अतयंतिक सम्बन्ध है, या की इन परस्पर विमर्श आरम्भ हो. दो एक पुस्तकों में संक्षेप में इस पर चर्चा जरूर है.

The Ragas of Northern Indian Music
₹995The first part of the book traces the history of Indian music and the continuity of its theory and practice for more than two thousand years. It is based on many years’ research into the vast ancient Sanskrit literature of music. These valuable technical treatises, which lie in the form of scarcely catalogued manuscripts throughout the public and private libraries of India, had hitherto remained unemplored. Part Two transcribes and studies in detail fifty typical Raga-s. Each is preceded by a Sanskrit poem in translation which depicts the atmosphere; then follows an analysis of the scale, covering its intervals and expression, a study of the theme with its characteristic motives and finally a typical development.
