Pen names of Great Composers of Hindustani Music

भारतीय संगीत के रचनाकार : हिंदुस्तानी संगीत के उस्तादों ने ध्रुपद, ख़याल, ठुमरी आदि की अनंत बंदिशें बनाई हैं। रागदारी, लयकारी आदि की समझ विकसित करने में इन बंदिशों का भारी योगदान माना जाता है। इन बंदिशों में रचनाकार का असली नाम नहीं रहता। वह अपना कोई उपनाम बनाता है और उसी का अपनी रचनाओं में प्रयोग करता है। उपनाम को छाप भी कहते हैं। यहाँ इन उपनामों की सूची दी जा रही है ताकि जिज्ञासुओं को उपनामों के साथ उस्तादों के असली नामों का पता भी चल सके। मेरे इस प्रयास को शुरुआत ही माना जाए क्योंकि बंदिशकार अनगिनत हैं। हो सकता है इस सूची में त्रुटियाँ रह गई हों। जानकारों से अनुरोध है उनसे अवगत कराने का कष्ट करें। निश्चय ही इन नामों के अलावा अन्य बहुत से नामों की जानकारी आपके पास हो सकती है। उनसे भी अवगत कराएँ ताकि इस सूची को अधिकाधिक प्रामाणिक और पूर्ण बनाया जा सके। Aalam - Alamara Begum Khaasmahal Adarang - Firoz Khan (nephew) Ahmedpiya/Ahmed - Alladiya Khan Akhtar Piya - Wajid Ali shah Amar - Aman Ali Khan Amardas/Amarpiya-NavrangNagpurkar Amarpiya - Aman Ali Khan (Bhendi bazaar) ...

Masit Khan’s nephew, Dulha Khan was n extraordinary Sitarist of his time. Rahim Sen,  son of Sukh Sen, the ‘mul-purush’ of Senia Gharana , married the daughter of Dulha Khan.
