Yes, we're talking about the same longa

My sheet is longer with an intro in eighth notes : C D C E C F C G (twice) by stopping the sound on each note.

Anouar Brahem made a sweet version on "Astrakan café".

I know that there are many versions and modified versions of it, but I will stick with my simple one then one can add any ornment he wants...Marcel khalifa play it too..

So Are you going to play it?

David.B - 1-3-2010 at 09:48 AM

I already played it, but I need a lot of time to get it back in my fingers, I'll check out what I'm able to do this evening...

OK, then we will meet tomorrow.
how do you tune your oud?
I have MuseBook tuner, it is nice.

This is a disaster ! I stumble on each note... About 3 or 4 years I don't use scores anymore, I would need a while to play it again really good. Right now I'm working on Rast, I hope to get more feed back on analysis with such a maqam :shrug:

But give us your own interpretation, I think this piece is an eliminating heat and can give a general idea of instrumentalist abilities (my teacher, who's Lebanese, told it's an exam over there).

I use an old portable tuner but I don't switch on my computer when I play music.

Good news,... perhaps you should change your mood from nikriz to rast ...

You will have a lot of real work with Rast...It is the base of our oriental music...but the Sikah makes us different since we dont start with full note...

Is this a superstition?
I tune and record by computer all the time. Sometimes I read on computer and play at the same time....

No it isn't

I use a CD player and monitoring speakers... The sound is really "clinic" and give to me all details. I don't know if a computer would give the same sound like my YC 201 ?
