| Hazrat Inayat Khanâ s classic 1912 work on Indian musical theory and practice. The MinqÄ r-i MÅ"sÄ"qÄ r is prized as much for the quality of its content as for its distinguished author. This book communicates the musical learning and enthusiasms of the twenty-five-year-old Inayat Khan, whose personal drive, ambition to engage with the wider world, and longing for the divine are palpable throughout. In the MinqÄ r-i MÅ"sÄ"qÄ r, we find a compilation of theory and practice current during Inayat Khanâ s time and taught in his family line. Its sections on theory are based on the teachings of the authorâ s grandfather, Maula Bakhsh, and other late nineteenth-century sources. The songs at the center of the book are the authorâ s compositions, and the poetry collection includes more than sixty choice Urdu and Persian ghazals. But, as valuable as it is for its musical content, the MinqÄ r is equally fascinating in what it tells us about the writer and the times in which it was written. |
