Shobhana Nayar has attempted in this book an objective evaluation of Bhatkhande's work in reviving Indian classical music.
Vishnu Narayan Bhatkhande was a unique personality endowed with scholarship, creativity, poetic sensibilities, capacity for patient and hard work and devotion for the Indian musical tradition and above all humility. Bhatkhande began his work with collection of hundreds of compositions from different gharanas, analysed them and formulated the theory of Indian music underlying these compositions. He also formulated an easy and expressive notation system for Hindustani music and introduced a new method of collective education in music and wrote textbooks and gave music the form and shape of an academic subject.
Pandit Bhatkhande's contribution to Indian music is so great that anyone interested in Indian Classical music must read this book.
