I'm curious... what is the general attitude today amongst Indian musicians and audiences regarding specific time of day for certain ragas? Are these taken more as suggestions, are they thought of as a vestige of the past, or are they mostly adhered to? For example, here, in an evening concert by master musicians, bhairavi is included, which is a morning raga. We have no parallel to this in the West (I'm in the USA). Have thoughts on this changed dramatically since the advent of recording, and the ability to play back performances at any time? Thank you in advance to anyone who cares to comment...
Where it comes to proper raag exposition, I would say most serious musicians still abide by the timing rules. Even on the Internet you can find plenty of quotes where eminent masters like Ustad Shahid Parvez, Pt Budhaditya Mukherjee, Ustad Bahauddin Dagar, ... speak on this matter. However I will say it is also customary for a khyal musician to end a concert with short dhuns in mishra bhairavi, pilu, kafi, etc. independently of the time of the concert. That is one exception to the rule which is widely accepted, but in my opinion does not mean that these musicians will be generally willing to play any raag at any time.
@@swshin4727 U.Parvez was born in 1954, Pt. Mukherjee in 1955, and Ud. Dagar in 1970... a relatively youthful 54 years old. I wonder if the same attitudes still hold true among Indian musicians in their 20s and 30s today? These are great masters you cite but I don't know that they represent current thinking. It may be that nothing has changed; I don't know.
@@ubertar but it is the old generation that has trained the new generation. I don't think it likely that someone who fell in love with this tradition, came in and went through 10+ years of intense study to learn it, will suddenly decide to break all the rules and go rogue. In isolated circumstances they may do it. I've seen even some of the masters I quoted above do it, albeit with clear disclaimers. Of course in semi classical or fusion genres it would all be quite different.

Some musicians are reluctant to play outside the specific timings. But in general I think it’s relaxed nowadays.
