(as of – Details)
This book delves into the foundational aspects of Indian music, emphasizing the importance of mastering the basic swaras in Indian classical music. It argues that all forms of music, whether classical, semi-classical, or light, stem from these foundational elements. The book also critiques modern approaches to music education, expressing concern over the diminishing interest in classical music among students and the audience, questioning why many aspiring musicians fail to demonstrate distinction in their craft. It highlights the concept of “sadhana” (dedicated practice), describing it as the key to musical excellence.
The extensive research of Sanjay Patki ji on the work of Shri Baburao Amdekar and expansion of his 5040 variations of swar paltas is the most unique and exclusive aspect of this book. This has been achieved by decoding the saying ‘Saptasura Tingram, Unanchaskottaan’ by Miyan Tansen through in-depth research. Using various techniques of melodic improvisations like chhand, bal, khand and jod, Patki ji has also discussed the aesthetics of raga presentation in khayal gayaki and how they can help render the raga alaap and taan with enhanced beauty that creates a lasting impression on the audience.
Through this book, Patki ji delves into some unique techniques of voice culture as well that can help students and aspiring singers sing easily in high pitch and develop a voice with superior vocal range. He also highlights the mistakes that students make in riyaz especially that of kharj, that lead to damaged voice, and how to prevent that. He offers a unique approach of riyaz that could be highly beneficial for the students of music, especially if they want to stand out from the rest of the musicians and create a mark of their own.
