Itna Na Mujhse Tu Pyar Badha




Music, songs.

Listening to the song, Itna na Mujhse Tu Pyaar Badha ... and  coincidentally, at the same time seeing the lyrics on somebody's facebook post, inspired me to add my little bit:

The tune of this song is taken from Mozart's 40th symphony, among his better known, produced when he was very ill, persecuted and tormented. Soon after, he died; but not before he wrote his 41st and last symphony, which has not been considered a significant work. But his last composition, the Requiem, is one of his cardinal works. 

Salil Choudhary, himself a vastly talented lyric writer, composer, producer and a multi-faceted, much-loved man, left a great legacy of his work, and an adoring family, all of whom also sing and write music, almost entirely derived from western classical and folk music. Choudhary wrote Itna Na Mujhse... for the film Chhaya, and used it twice, both on Sunil Dutt and Asha Parekh.
