The Radif of Iranian Classical Music-Special Edition for Ney Players in Right and Left Tuning by Mohammad Ali Kiani Nejad

Description

(The Radif of Iranian Classical Music: Special Edition for Ney Players in Right and Left Tuning) by Mohammad Ali Kiani Nejad is a specialized instructional book tailored for ney (Persian flute) musicians. This work meticulously presents the traditional radif—the foundational repertoire of Iranian classical music—adapted specifically for ney players. The book is organized into two main sections: one for right-hand tuning (rast-kook) and another for left-hand tuning (chap-kook). Each section includes detailed transcriptions of the radif, accompanied by explanatory notes and fingerings to facilitate learning. This structure allows ney players to study the classical repertoire in a manner that aligns with the unique tuning systems of their instruments. Mohammad Ali Kiani Nejad, a renowned Iranian flautist and music educator, compiled this work to preserve and transmit the rich traditions of Persian music. His deep understanding of the radif and its nuances is evident throughout the book, making it an invaluable resource for both students and practitioners of Iranian classical music.
