Mr. Burman's rapport with the students was light-hearted and understanding of their interested but uneducated ears asking them from time to time if they were bored. The students made it clear that they were not, continually asking questions that made it clear that they wanted to understand what was going on. They were amazed at how he was able to pull emotion out of the sitar and the significant tension and release of the music. Mr. Burman compared the sitar composition with a four movement symphony. The first movement was a slow introduction of the melody, the second ads rhythm to the melody and some variation, the third much more activity and increased improvisation and the fourth slowing back down and reminding the listener of the themes.
