Pandit Vishnu Narayan Bhatkhande was an Indian musicologist who wrote the first modern treatise on (North Indian) Hindustani Classical Music, an art which had been propagated earlier for a few centuries mostly through oral traditions. During those earlier times, the art had undergone several changes, rendering the raga grammar documented in scant old texts outdated. Ragas used to be classified into Raga (male), Ragini (female), and Putra (children).

dbpprop:abstract
  • Pandit Vishnu Narayan Bhatkhande was an Indian musicologist who wrote the first modern treatise on (North Indian) Hindustani Classical Music, an art which had been propagated earlier for a few centuries mostly through oral traditions. During those earlier times, the art had undergone several changes, rendering the raga grammar documented in scant old texts outdated. Ragas used to be classified into Raga (male), Ragini (female), and Putra (children). Bhatkhande reclassified them into the currently used Thaat system. He noted that several ragas did not conform to their description in ancient Sanskrit texts. He explained the ragas in an easy-to-understand language and composed several bandishes which explained the grammar of the ragas. He borrowed the idea of lakshan geet from the Carnatic music scholar Venkatamakhin.
  • Vishnu Narayan Bhatkhande war der einflussreichste Musiktheoretiker seiner Zeit und ein Förderer der klassischen nordindischen Musik innerhalb der sich ab Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts auf die indische Tradition berufenden antikolonialen Nationalbewegung. Von ihm stammt die bis heute gebräuchliche Klassifizierung der Ragas zu einem System von zehn thatas (Skalen).
  • Pandit Vishnu Narayan Bhatkhande was een Indiaas klassiek musicus, die als grote verdienste had dat er een Renaissance in de Indiase muziek optrad. Hij reorganiseerde het systeem van raga's in de Hindoestaanse muziek in het tegenwoordige That-systeem door de oudere vormen van raga-classificatie in Raag (mannelijk), Ragini (vrouwelijk), en Putra (kinderen) er in onder te brengen.
