At second sight it has some oddities like time signatures changing every three bars and half-♭ signs in the key signature, and the third thing you notice is that when you play those parts analogous to how you'd interpret a Western score (even with quarter-tone microtonality), it sounds absolutely nothing like an Iranian playing the piece. | |
