Recenzii

'Katherine Schofield's path-breaking account of music and musicians from the late Mughal period is a lesson in music history and historiography for musicians, music scholars and students in India. Her detailed analysis of texts written in multiple languages as well as pictorial sources will enlighten students and performers like myself about trajectories that moulded Hindustani music to the shape we experience today. This book will also go a long way in breaking myths and stereotypes about Muslim practitioners of this music that have for so long coloured our understanding of the past.' Aneesh Pradhan, Tabla player, composer and author
