  • when we say quarter tone, is it exactly 1/4 tone off (+- 50 cents) ?

  • @peacuponiran

    Thank you for posting this very important question. It is close but not exactly + or - 50 cents, not in all cases anyway. Piano produces a fixed sound, therefore it is critical to tune the piano accurately to help convey the aesthetics of radif music. Here Mahjoubi is performing Dashti in the key of A. This tuning is achieved by lowering E by 41 cents, raising Ab by 51 cents, and lowering B by 43 cents. Suggestion: try this tuning on a keyboard with scale tuning capability.

  • @peacuponiran not exactly, it's even not a unique aspect in different scales (as we call them Dastgah). there is a funny story: once they asked grand master to play a certain scale (dastgah) with their instruments, finally they found out that non of them are playing exactly the same tunes.

  • mesmeric! where can I find the notes? I am not very good at writing persian notes by hearing the song. Could you help me?

  • amazing 

  • THEY MADE IRAN , THANK YOU

  • Amazing performance and masterful song writing. This particular song (Karavan) is among maestro Banan's best ever and to think that Ostad Mahjoobi couldn't even read or write music in the traditional sense goes to show that real God given talent does not require and academic enhancements!

    By the way the picture posted for this video is that of Morteza khan's brother Reza Mahjoobi (often referred to Reza Divaneh). You may want to either correct this or add a note. Thank you for posting.

  • unbelievable performance

  • vaghean che zeebast!

  • Excellent work, Rohet Shad Ostad...
