Thank you for the reply! This is a good one. I, together with some friends, want to start playing this wonderful music. We are at the begging so we we should start with pieces in the most tempered makams. If you know other pieces like that you sent early, please send me.Hey,
it depends on. I assume that group will be capable to play the microtonal notes, right? How big of a group? Would you be willing to play vocal pieces (but only with instruments) or just compositions specially made for instrumental music?
Something with a slow tempo should be ideal for beginners I guess and not that far away to western ears.
I would probably start with this instrumental piece: Saz Semaisi - Hasip Dede (Erzurumlu) - Nihavend.
These are some good onesHi gelu, I think you would enjoy
