Ustad Amir Khan will need to be remembered as one of the most path breaking creators in the history of Hindustani Classical Music. If Indian Classical music is in reckoning in today milieu, it is significantly because he created an entirely new textural possibility for raga elaboration. Amir Khansaheb was a thinker. He was an architect. His music did not arise just from inner excitement. It was premeditated, created with a sense of balance an dkinetics. He gave the ancient technique of khandameru or meerkhand note combinations in alaap a rare aesthetic power. His alaap thus combined head and heart in a perfect balance.
