Críticas:

The Indian Patriot of 8-9-1908. - Beyond and above what the Professor has inherited from distinguished musicians with whom he is connected by ties internal and paternal, he had the benefit of systematic course of training in the theory and practice of Indian music for over 12 years under Prof. Mowla Bux himself. He has made a critical study of the standard works on Sangit and is also the author of some good books in Hindi on the same subject. The Hindu of 23-3-1908. - He kept the audience spell-bound. His sweet melodious voice, his grasp of both the Hindustani and Carnatic science of music, his complete mastery over Swarams, the effective modulations of his voice touched the hearts of everyone whether he had a taste for music or not. The Daily Post of 20-1-1908. - He is one of the best musicians that we have in Southern India. His performances on the Jaltarang and other instruments have been greatly appreciated by Indians and Europeans alike. He has been honoured by invitations to give performances before Lord Elgin, Lord Curzon and Lord Ampthill, who expressed their admiration and appreciation.

Reseña del editor:

THE Minqār-i Mūsīqār is of rare interest both for its contents and for its distinguished author,
Hazrat Inayat Khan. Its sections on theory are based on the teachings of the author's grandfather,
Maula Bakhsh, and other late nineteenth century sources. The songs at the center of the book are
the author's own compositions, and the poetry collection includes more than sixty choice Urdu
and Persian ghazals. Overall the book communicates the musical learning and enthusiasms of
Inayat Khan, whose personal drive, ambition to engage with the wider world, and longing for
the divine are palpable throughout the book.
In the Minqār-i Mūsīqār Inayat Khan has given us a compilation of theory and practice cur-
rent during his time and taught in his family line. Readers familiar with present-day Hindustani
music will find many recognizable terms and some that are no longer in use. As valuable as it is
for its musical content, the Minqār is equally fascinating for what it tells us about the writer and
the times in which it was written.
