New mansions for music : performance, pedagogy, and criticism

"The essays in New Mansions for Music: Performance, Pedagogy and Criticism look at one of the most ancient and rigorous classical musical traditions of India, the Karnatik music system, and the kind of changes it underwent once it was relocated from the traditional spaces of temples and salons to the public domain. In a book peppered with anecdotes and conversations with leading musicians and critics of the day, as well as humorous visual representations, part caricature, part satire, the author describes a rapidly changing society and its new look in early-twentieth-century Madras."--BOOK JACKET
