Expressive Inflections and Pedagogical Insights in Persian Classical Music: Introducing New Approach to Graphic Notation

  • Author / Creator
    Nazarijou, Afarinsadat
  • My research explores the complex world of Persian classical music and focuses on the relationship between live performance and musical notation. Understanding the development of this musical tradition requires a comprehension of the relationships and structures between its core elements. I have devoted some time to examining how these relationships operate briefly by studying the history and pedagogy of this music repertoire. This expository material on the Persian musical system is a necessary preparatory phase for the principal goal of this project, which is to introduce graphical symbols into transcription of this music to create a bridge between the intricacy of conception, sound, and execution of this musical repertoire and a diacritical and extended notational symbology based on the western notational system that is capable of capturing the inflections and enhancing the expressive portrayal of this musical repertoire.
