The author tries to present profiles of these personalities whom he had seen, heard, met and known on friendly terms, over the years in a non-conventional manner by combining reminiscence, interview, analysis, discussion and biographical information in a composite form. The interest in Hindustani music is growing in India and abroad significantly and Music to the Ears: Great Masters of Hindustani Instrumental Music will benefit both students and connoisseurs of music.
