Qanun Instrument Instruction Book by Maliheh Saeedi Vol. 3

Description

"The Qanun Instrument Instruction Book" Volume 3 by Malihe Saeedi continues the comprehensive guidance for playing the Qanun instrument. In this third volume, the author expresses gratitude for the opportunity to systematically document the knowledge gained from decades of research and experience in the field of the Qanun. This book, a result of extensive research and knowledge, aims to bring the Arabic playing style of the Qanun back to an Iranian context. Historically, the construction of the instrument, the makers, and the playing style were aligned with Arabic and Turkish patterns. However, in these three volumes, efforts have been made to shift away from the Arabic technique and translate it into an Iranian style. This involves adapting the Qanun's performance characteristics, creating new symbols, and aligning many of them with common music symbols.
