The First Narrative

One of the first Radifs in Iranian music history will be published in the upcoming collection of corrections. The narration was written in 1924 by Master Musa Maroufi during his studentship under Darvish Khan, master of Tar. As a result, Mofakhkham Payan rewrote Musa Maroufi›s writings for performance with a violin in 1939 and published them. Even Saba›s violin Radif was supposed to be compiled using them, but due to the events of that time, this was impossible. This manuscript was finally published in 1977 by the Academy of Literature and Art without any corrections or revisions after many years. According to the Radif, the errors and mistakes in the notes from the transfer to the violin were corrected in the corrective in front of you. Due to the lack of the original manuscript of Musa Maroufi, the present version can be considered as the closest representation of the Radif narrated by Darvish Khan.
