The book - Melakarta 72 Ambiences - as the author says ‘will be useful to all aspiring musicians, especially those who are keen to learn Indian Melakarta musical scheme without confusion. They have to merely follow the notation key of the piano. It makes for a good ready reckoner for musicians, students, historians and those who swear by music.
The book is a product of my diligence and the aspiration to chase my dream, thanks to the constant encouragement from by family, teachers, friends, music lovers and well wishers’.
B.Janardhan Reddy, Commissioner GHMC, .Swaraveenapani, music director, Maachiraju, Writer, Katha Ratna Pt. Deepak Sharma(Raja Maharaj),Badrinath and Akkineni Sridhar, artist appreciated the unique efforts of the author.
Dr Raju had aspired for long to come up with something unique in the world of classical music so that the legacy can be taken forward by successive generations of music lovers, exponents and performers.
As he said during the book release function: I was hooked on to classical Indian music at a very young age, thanks to the inspiration I drew from my uncle Late Thirumalagiri Venkaiah, a teacher by profession in my native town of Miryalguda.
A passionate learner and avid follower of all genres of music, including instrumental furan music by Shakti and DrSubrahmanyam, ghazals, Sufi and those originating on foreign soil, I endeavoured to come up with something that would remain for posterity.
