An Equal Music by Vikram Seth



          As the Wikipedia puts it: "The book was especially
          well received by musical fans, who noted the
          accuracy of Seth's descriptions of music. Several
          musical works figure prominently in An Equal
          Music. Among these are the Trout Quintet, by
          Franz Schubert, and The Lark Ascending, by
          Ralph Vaughan Williams."

The programme was very informative, even for people with just a
uninformed interest in music like me. A few of the Kala Academy staff
were present. -- FN

PS: Incidentally, Seth has been described as an "Indian poet,
novelist, travel writer, librettist, children's writer, biographer and
memoirist." He is one of the creative writers and artistes who has
been visiting Goa. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vikram_Seth
