Just wanted to share these 3 pieces in old maqam Busalik.

Here is a recording of the above piece:
Al Kindi Ensemble https://youtu.be/oxEzi2aRW2I
Piece starts at 19:46.
There is an introductory part that is absent in the sheet music, probably from the Ali Ufki version (mine is from Cantemir). Otherwise the score is the same as the performance although the repeats are different.
I have noticed that Bezmara also change the repeats in these old pieces.

These did not make my last book of pieces.

This maqam is very different from maqam Nahawand.
The maqam is jins Nahawand on D + jins Bayati on A.

Interestingly maqam Nahawand used to be the Dorian (sometimes with a raised 7th at the conclusion) mode (Cantemir/Ufki).
