It shows how a key Mughal cultural field responded to the political, economic and social upheaval of the transition to British rule, while addressing a central philosophical question: can we ever recapture the ephemeral experience of music once the performance is over? These rich, diverse sources shine new light on the wider historical processes of this pivotal transitional period, and provide a new history of music, musicians and their audiences during the precise period in which North Indian classical music coalesced in its modern form.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Weight: 594gAuthor: Katherine Butler SchofieldGenre: Music Dance & TheatreISBN-10: 100904852XType: StylesItem Length: 170mmItem Height: 244mmItem Width: 18mmRelease Year: 2024 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
