This collection of essays, a revised and expanded edition from 1979, offers a pioneering exploration of Hindustani rhythm through contemporary Western aesthetics. It defines key terms like laya, matra, bol, theka, sama, and layakari, while capturing the essence of live rhythm. The book addresses broader aesthetic questions about rhythm's autonomy, symbolism, and significance, comparing the views of modern aestheticians Susanne K. Langer and Philip Alperson with Hindustani rhythm theory and practice. It's valuable for enthusiasts of Hindustani rhythm and Kathak dance, given the dance's strong reliance on rhythm.
