Transpositions of Maqam Nahawand, Kurd and Bayat will be further analyzed with a higher level of risha and fingering technique. New secondary maqamaat and some of their transpositions will be introduced including Maqam Lami and Bayat Shur. Longer musical pieces will be covered, many of which contain maqam modulations. Some pieces will also be played in a transposed key. A higher level of technique is applied and pitch precision is emphasized.
