Janaki Bakhle. Two Men and Music: Nationalism in the Making of an Indian Classical Tradition. New York: Oxford University Press. 2005. Pp. xvi, 338. $19.95.

In this book, Janaki Bakhle presents a compelling and original study of the widening cultural sphere of music in late colonial India, an aspect of artistic life not hitherto thought to be "touched" by colonialism. The book explores the development of pedagogy, organization, notation, and classification in struggles to define a classical tradition for music by following the careers of two leading musicologists, Vishnu Narayan Bhatkhande and Vishnu Digambar Paluskar. Colonial texts, music appreciation societies, and all-India music conferences form the general context and backdrop to their histories. The author sketches out a complex narrative in which notions of separate "forms" of classical music and performance were delineated and imagined: among them, ideas of separate Hindu and Muslim spheres.
