Sākhtār-i milūdī dar mūsīqī Īrānī: Persiska (Farsi) 1400

The book Structure of Melody in Iranian Music has a different approach to the subject of Iranian music structure. Many studies of the last century have traditionally focused more on the study of the pattern of sound intervals and the modes that shape songs and instruments. This is the fact that the melody plays the most obvious role in the structure of Iranian music; To such an extent that not paying attention to it leads to breaking the connection of Iranian listeners with this music. Contrary to what it seems at first, the identity of Iranian music does not depend on the ratio of the intervals of sounds, but in fact, it is the quality of melodies and rhythms that makes Iranian music familiar to its listeners and related to its identity. This book contains two main parts: in the first part, "The Formal Structure of Melody in Iranian Music" and in the second part, "The Human Aspects of Melody in Iranian Music" are examined from the two perspectives of "listeners" and "melody makers".
