by R. Sathyanarayana

'Karnataka Music As Aesthelic Form' is probably the first serious and systematic attempt to analyse and explain aesthetic experience of Karnataka music in the perspective of its multiple values.  It deals with a traditional art form of ndian music which is performed and enjoyed by many millions of music lovers in India and abroad.  Its focus is Karnataka music but much of what it says in the first half applies to Indian music in general.
