    An okay book. It felt a little dry. I found myself wanting more examples of the musical pieces discussed.

  2. Aditya Mishra –

    Informative but not captivating. The book covers a lot of ground, but it did not resonate with me personally.

  3. Pankaj Dhalaria –

    Du Perron’s exploration of Khayal is commendable. The historical context is well-researched, though it could be a bit more engaging for non-experts.

  4. Kumari Shweta –

    Songs of Khayal provides a decent overview. I hoped for deeper musical analysis. It is more history than musical exploration.

    I loved learning about the history of Khayal! The writing style is clear and accessible. Highly recommended!

    A good introduction to Khayal, but it lacked the depth I was seeking. Still, a worthwhile read for beginners in Hindustani music.

    Du Perron presents a compelling narrative of Khayal’s evolution. Slightly academic in tone, but filled with rich details.

  12. Abhishek Kumar –

    Enjoyable and informative! The book beautifully chronicles the journey of Khayal music. A great read for music lovers.

  13. Annie Goswami –

    Good starting point. It gave a broad understanding of khayal but felt short on explaining the technicalities.
