Resolving Rabindra Sangeet Conundrums  (English, Paperback, Kunal Banerji)

This book aims to resolve a set of Rabindra Sangeet conundrums by seeking answers to some of the most pressing questions faced by aspiring students, teachers, instructors, performing artistes and researchers, who are often confounded by conflicting information disseminated in the public domain. What is ironic is that people get to hear views on Rabindra Sangeet’s new found 'popularity' and ‘modernising’ experiments from professional performing artistes and new age avatars of the Bengali pop scene, but not from erudite Rabindra Sangeet scholars and musicologists, who could provide counter narratives with equally compelling arguments. The time has come to unravel some of Rabindra Sangeet’s abiding mysteries concerning Gayaki, Notations (Swaralipi), Improvisation, Derivative works like Remixes/Fusions, etc., 'Enriching' Rabindra Sangeet, Satisfaction levels, Copyright/Moral Right, and Constructive steps that can be taken to resolve the dilemmas surrounding Rabindra Sangeet.
