Radīf-i Mīrzā'Abd'Allāh: Nut'nivīsī-yi Āmūzishī va Taḥlīlī: Persiska (Farsi) 1403

The instrumental system of Iranian music called "Radif", which has been preserved until it reached our hands through teaching, has various narratives, and each narrative is named after the master who narrated it. The Radif of Mirza Abdullah (1222-1297 AH) is the oldest and the most reliable narration of the Radif, which was passed down from him to his immediate student Ismail Ghahrami and from Ismail Ghahrami to Nur Ali Broumand. The notation done in this book is based on the performance of Darius Talai with three strings. An executive based on his narration from the line of Mirza Abdullah. In this notation, by inventing a special method, in addition to learning row patterns, learning the structure of corners and the connection of its sentences with each other is also considered. A method that avoids understanding this music as a frozen repertoire and seeks to transform it into generative patterns in the student's mind. In other words, the task of this book is to transfer the knowledge and content of instrumental music through radif. Dariush Talai himself is the narrator of Radif and is from the fourth generation of musicians after Mirza Abdullah. He is an excellent musician of tar and three strings, and he learned this radif directly from Noor Ali Khan Borumand during 1350-1356. He also took courses of other narrations of radif from Ali Akbar Shahnazi, Abdullah Davami, Yusuf Farutan and Saeed Hormozi. By studying in France, he was also equipped with new knowledge of music, and the acquisition of this knowledge has allowed him to conduct scientific research in this repertoire in addition to performing and understanding radif orally. In the course of this research, he has been able to come to an understanding and a novel method to convey the content and structure of the row. Dariush Talai, musician, radif don, researcher and university lecturer, was born in Damavand city in 1331 in a music-loving family. From the age of eleven, he studied music and participated in the high music conservatory, and in the third year of the conservatory, he became interested in playing the strings. After finishing the conservatory, he started studying music more seriously by entering Tehran Fine Arts College. After graduating in 1355, he started teaching Radif at Tehran University. In 1358, he went to Paris to continue his studies and received his doctorate in musicology from the University of Nantes, France. At the same time as studying in France, he taught at the Center for the Study of Oriental Music, which was affiliated with the Sorbonne. He was also invited to teach at the University of Washington in Seattle. In addition to teaching at Tehran University, he is currently a member of the Faculty of Music of the Faculty of Fine Arts as well as the Faculty of Music of the University of Arts. In addition to publishing books in the field of music and numerous albums, Talai has also held various concerts inside and outside the country.
