Pandit Amarnath was regarded as a musicians’ musician and the foremost interpreter of the Indore Gharana. In this book, he demystifies the many terms associated with Hindustani classical music for the common man interested in this art form. From crucial terms such as avaart and kharaj bharna to musicological terminology like moorchhana and shrutee to short profiles of stalwarts in the field and telling musical ‘proverbs’ and sayings of the great masters, this is a pathfinder to the otherwise closed traditions of Hindustani classical music whose secrets and philosophies have been restricted to masters and connoisseurs. Pandit Amarnath reveals the terms in both their etymology as well as their implications in musical practice and listening.
First published twenty-five years ago to great critical acclaim and now being updated by Rekha and Vishal Bhardwaj, this will be a must-read for music lovers and musicologists, musicians and students, linguists and historians alike.

Wrong Title
The name of the book is dictionary of music. total pages are 196 and first 60 pages are stories of pandit Ji but the book is written by Rekha Bhardwaj. Then under dictionary part, the terms are picked up from everywhere as simple as name of instruments and most of it is the name of poets and musicians. This book is for someone who really wants to know the history and fun facts of music but not for anyone who actually needs to learn something new and USEFUL. Most of the stuff is for a retired musician who needs to learn some new fun stuff to boast about like something more about Tansen. I am not against the material listed in the book as everyone has their own choice and likings but title is very deceptive and there should be some pages and index published so you know what you are purchasing. This book is simply going on my bookshelf so one day someone will think that how musically educated I am 🙂
