The performance on this recording begins with a Taqsim, a form of instrumental improvisation in Arab music.
Taqsim is a melodic musical improvisation performed before a traditional Arabic, Kurdish, Greek, Middle Eastern, Azerbaijani, or Turkish musical composition. Taqsim has traditionally followed a particular melodic progression.
Taqsim is traditionally performed in a specific melodic progression. Beginning with the tonic of a specific Arabic maqam , the first few measures introduce the maqam to the listener.
Following this introduction, the performer is free to move around the maqam and even modulate to other maqams, as long as they return to the original one.
Taqsim is a solo instrument performance or one accompanied by a percussionist or other instrumentalist playing a drone on the maqam's tonic.

Answer: Dali contrasts a familiar landscape with bizarre objects, and in this way combines dreams and reality.
Explanation:
Dali's Persistence of Memory (1931) is one of the most distinguished works of Surrealism.
In this piece of art, Dali puts bizarre objects associated with dreaming in a realistic landscape.
The rocky landscape was inspired by the artist's native Catalonia. Across the composition, melting clocks are thrown. The clocks are sliding down a mysterious object, or melting down the tree branch. The closed pocket watch is the only watch that does not change its form. There is also an anthropomorphic mass on the ground, a face-like object that many critics have interpreted as a self-portrait of the artist.
It is easy to see that Dali combines a landscape familiar to human eye and dream-like objects. In this way, he portrays the close relation between dreams and reality.
