DESCRIPTION
Music, Time and Place is a collection of interlinked essays which deal with a wide range of issues concerning both Indian and Western music ad musical thought. The essays are organised in three main sections. The first, 'Time and rhythm', discusses a number of interrelated questions concerning the organisation of music in time. The next section concerns the history of comparative musicology, early sound recording, particularly A. H. Fox Strangways' classic book The Music of Hindostan. Finally, in 'Beyond the East-West divide', Clayton addresses the histories of Indian music in the West and Western music in India, and questions some commonly-held notions of essential difference. The essays make significant and original contributions across a wide range of contemporary musicological debates.
