Lok Kavi Shahir Ramjoshi: लोककवी शाहीर रामजोशी
by Shirish Gandheमहाराष्ट्राच्या राजकीय, सामाजिक, शैक्षणिक, सांस्कृतिक, आर्थिक व वैचारिक जडणघडणीत ज्या दिवंगत महनीय व्यक्तींचा महत्त्वपूर्ण सहभाग आहे अशा व्यक्तींची साधारणतः शंभर ते सव्वाशे पानाची सुबोध मराठी भाषेत चरित्रे लिहून ती “महाराष्ट्राचे शिल्पकार” या योजनेअंतर्गत पुस्तकरुपाने प्रकाशित करण्याची मंडळाने योजना आखली असून या चरित्रग्रंथमालेतील “लोककवी शाहीर रामजोशी” हा तेविसावा चरित्रग्रंथ आहे. लोककवी शाहीर रामजोशी हा शाहिरांचा मुकूटमणी आहे आणि म्हणूनच “महाराष्ट्राचे शिल्पकार” या मंडळाच्या चरित्रग्रंथमालेअंतर्गत या शाहिरावरचा चरित्रग्रंथ प्रकाशित करण्यात मंडळाला विशेष आनंद होत आहे. प्रा. शिरीष गंधे यांनी या चरित्रग्रंथाचे लेखन समरसून तर केलेले आहेच; पण त्याशिवाय चरित्रग्रंथासाठी रूढ असलेल्या लेखन पद्धतीचा अवलंब न करता कथात्मक लेखन पद्धतीचा अवलंब केला आहे. प्रसंगाची मांडणीही अतिशय नाट्यपूर्ण रीतीने केलेली आहे. अर्थात अशा लेखन पद्धतीचा अवलंब केल्यास चरित्रग्रंथात काही त्रुटी संभवतात; पण या ग्रंथात अशा त्रुटी अभावानाच आढळतात.

كتاب الموسيقى الشرقي
by محمد كامل الخلعيالموسيقى هو علم يبحث فيه عن أحوال النغم من جهة تأليفه اللذيذ والنافر ـ وعن أحوال الأزمة المتخللة بين النغمات من جهة الطول والقصر. فعلم أنه يتم بجزئين: الأول علم التأليف وهو اللحن ـ والثاني علم الإيقاع وهو المسمى أيضًا بالأصول. (فالنغمات) جمع نغمة بالتحريك وهي (لغة) الصوت الساذج الخالي من الحروف ـ و(اصطلاحًا) الصوت المترنم به. (واللحن) بالسكون (لغة) صوت من الأصوات المصوغة و(اصطلاحًا) ما ركب من نغمات بعضها يعلو أو يسفل عن بعض على نسب معلومة ـ (والنغم للحن كالأحرف للكلام)ـ ثم يرتب ترتيبًا موزونًا ـ أي أنه يصاغ على أحد الأوزان التي سنذكرها بعد. ويقرن بشيء من الشعر أو غيره من سائر الفنون السبعة التي هي ـ القريض ـ والدويت ـ والموالي ـ والموشح ـ والزجل ـ والقومة ـ وكان وكان. وهذا التعريف جامع مانع؛
