Q47

Pranam. In the parlance of instrumental music, is there any marked difference in the structure of Gat from that of Bandish?

In Ustad Enayat Khan ‘s time, many gats were composed almost following the base
bandish,but it with abundant use of instrumental technique. Presently in our gharana
a gat is completely following the bols of concerned bandish without the use of plucked
bols- ie. projecting the melody as it is sung.
The structure remains the same as the gat follows the bandish verbatim forty
