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.
