The Advanced Shahnazi Radif
Notation and arrangement for Santur: Hossein Khavas
By Ali Bahrami Fard
With four CDs

Publisher: Mahoor, 1402

According to many experts, the radif of the advanced course of استاد علی‌اکبر شهنازی, along with the radif of the advanced course of چپ‌کوک استاد فرامرز پایور, is one of the richest collections of technical compositions based on the radif of Iranian instrumental music.

So far, no translation of this radif has been published for the Santur, and the existing writings are more suitable for the Tar. According to the author, the various writings of this radif need to be rewritten for various reasons, the most important of which is the lack of full correspondence with the timing of the audio sample performed by استاد شهنازی himself, and the lack of a written collection that includes the entire radif, observing the playing techniques of استاد علی‌اکبر شهنازی’s Tar, has translated for the Santur.
