Description :The present article attempts to provide linkages in the practice of appending 'signatures' to musical compositions. It is, however, a very brief exploration of this theme, and limited in its scope. The word 'abhoga' means expanse, extension. Abhoga has an ancient past; its future, however, is uncertain, because the antara of Khyal is often neglected by singers of the present day. The significance of composition has diminished in a svara-dominated Khyal, and composers' signatures are not often to be found in Khyal compositions of recent times.
