In instrumental performance and dhrupad singing, this part receives heavy emphasis and can last for more than an hour ref http www.india9.com i9show Alap 56012.htm ref in the more popular modern vocal style of khyal , generally less so. Instead of wholly free improvisation, many musicians perform alap schematically, for example by way of vistar , where the notes of the raga are introduced one at a time, so that phrases never travel further than one note above or below what has been covered before. In such cases, the first reach into a new octave can be a powerful event. When a steady pulse is introduced into the alap, it is called jor when the tempo has been greatly increased, or when the rhythmic element overtakes the melodic, it is called jhala dhrupad nomtom . The jor and jhala can be seen as separate sections of the performance, or as parts of the alap in the same way, jhala can be seen as a part of jor. Several musicologists have proposed much more complicated classifications and descriptions of alap. In the same way as traditional four part compositions have a sthai , antara , sanchar and abhog , some treat alap with a four part scheme using the same names. Bengal i researcher Bimalakanto Raychoudhuri in his Bharatiya Sangeetkosh suggests classification both by length aochar being the shortest, followed by bandhan , kayed and vistar and by performance style according to the four ancient vanis or singing styles Gohar , Nauhar , Dagar and Khandar , and proceeds to list thirteen stages Vilambit Madhya Drut Jhala Thok Lari Larguthav Larlapet Paran Sath Dhuya Matha Paramatha Even though Raychoudhuri admits the 13th stage is wholly extinct today, as we see we are i ... more details

He married Basiran Bibi, daughter of khyal singer Bande Hussain, and settled with his family in Calcutta , where, though he only lived to 43, he did much pioneering work on the sitar. For example, he standardised its physical dimensions and added the upper resonator gourd, which is very popular with today s players though his own descendants have not kept using it . In a place rapidly developing into an important North Indian centre of the arts, at a time where interest in national culture was strong fuelled by the struggle for independence, he brought sitar music out from its narrow connoisseur circles to new mass audiences.
