Finding The Raga by Amit Chaudhuri
An Improvisation on Indian Music
A reflective blend of memoir and musicology that traces one person’s gradual immersion in Hindustani classical music, contrasting its raga-based, improvisatory ethos with Western harmonic traditions. Through moments of listening, training, and performance, it explores voice, the tanpura’s drone, microtonal nuance, and the discipline of riyaaz. The result is an intimate meditation on learning, culture, and identity, showing how a musical practice can reshape perception, language, and the self.
