Indian Musical Traditions for the first time tries to define the characteristics of the Gharana system and elaborates such postulates of Hindustani classical music as 'restraint' and 'purity' and attempts to unravel the formal aesthetic structure of Khayal singing. The book then critically examines the styles of six gharanas--Agra, Kirana, Gwalior, Jaipur, Patiala and Indore. It also discusses possibilities of the emergence of new gharanas, the limitations of the gharana system and the problems it faces today.The essential contribution of this book is that it presents theoretical discussion on the principles of aesthetics of Hindustani music which will help the reader to understand and appreciate it better.
