Lets go fellas... the poll has showed we want to play and hear some hijaz-kar taqassim.
I havent gotten around to post my part yet but its not all about me here ;)

lets dust off that oud... and get some playing going on.

Hi Samir- to help us to get a grip on this beautiful maqam, would the maqam of the month Hijaz Kar include all of its transposed versions as listed here?:

Thanks!

yah thats good...
any of those work.
the idea is to develop improvisation skills and if that means to flow towards transpositions during the taqasim its fine. It should re-establish the feel of the maqam at the end though.

Salamat all- well I've dusted off my oud a bit and here is a short take on what I hope is a Hijaz-Kar to kick this months maqam thread off! all feedback welcome!

Bravo and aaleyki asSalam ya Massiouna! It the first time I have the chance to hear a Russian Hijaz kar maqam ! Original and personal style, very light. You could put it much more bass answers if like so, because you climb high with your f string in more . Your Sada arrouaH sounds good, interesting tessitura ! Cia-ciao signore tremolo.
