Abstract

Abstract: A half century personal overview of my study of Hindustani musicians generally, and my teacher specifically provides the context and explanation for what I aver as the distinctive features of Hindustani music. First, the music practice did not require colonial reconfigurations from the perspective of its hereditary khandani practitioners. Second, for ethnomusicologists, the relationship between the researcher-disciple and consultant-master teacher was uniquely personal and loyal. Accordingly, despite exponentially expanding our understanding of its music practices in the last 50 years, ethnomusicological research in India remains remarkably free of generational friction, other than the necessary traction to learn more.
