Ravi Shankar [SEP] Style and contributions
Narayana Menon of "The New Grove Dictionary" noted Shankar's liking for rhythmic novelties, among them the use of unconventional rhythmic cycles. Hans Neuhoff of "Musik in Geschichte und Gegenwart" has argued that Shankar's playing style was not widely adopted and that he was surpassed by other "sitar" players in the performance of melodic passages. Shankar's interplay with Alla Rakha improved appreciation for "tabla" playing in Hindustani classical music. Shankar promoted the "jugalbandi" duet concert style and claims to have introduced new ragas "Tilak Shyam", "Nat Bhairav" and "Bairagi".
