As one can note, this one is a fugue. Raaja has spoken of how he played this to Paul Mariat and the latter was engrossed. This extract is from Raaja's autobiographical Sangeetha Kanavugal, which he wrote for Kumudham in 1983 post a European and American trip. அப்பவே இத கம்போஸ் செஞ்சுட்டாரு though he released it with HTNI in 1986 only. He himself mentions it being set to Mayamalawagowlai: (in fact, the hyperlink to MMMF in this blogpost takes us to the chalanaattai piece only அவ்வளவு ஊரிருக்கு. That track in Chalanaattai is in fact called Don't Compare).

I have read ilayaraja's meeting with Paul maruiat(from isaignanibakthan.blogspot) , i am also eager to know his trip to America, i hope IR would discussed his trip to America too in some book which he had written, can you please post the excerpts of this, I am quite enthusiased to know whom did IR meet in USA and what was their response to his music. So kindly post it. Many would enjoy reading that.

As a youth who read 'sangeethakkanavugaL' when it came in kumudam as a series for a few weeks (that included his meeting with Paul Mauriat / "en nAdha dEvan Bach" photo etc), I don't remember any details about his amerikkA visit in that particular series Embarassed

It must have been another trip in 80's. If there's an account about that, me too want to read Smile

I guess IR would have written this USA trip experience in some book, i plead some members to share its excerpts.
