Feelings of Iranian Music

Rokhy describes Iranian music as tragic compared to Western music. Also, Mustafa Kamal Pourtorab believes that since contemporary Western musicians have heard nothing. But the usual 12 half-curtains in classical music by tempering the half-curtains.So,they find the sound of microperdies wild or tragic. However, Kamal Pourtorab misunderpreses the notion that microperdies make music tragic because there is also tragic music in European music (such as operas).

However, musicians also acknowledge the tragicity of a major part of traditional Iranian music, cited three important reasons for it: that Iranian music is a reflection of Iran’s tragic history, that “sadness” is considered one of the greatest feelings. Besides ,some Western musicians have many of their works tragic (e.g., none of the symphonies written by Johannes Brams are in the major step), and this is the case. Iranian music is based on Iranian poetry and many Iranian poems are sad. Also,Ella Zunis, an American music researcher, also believes that the tragic nature of Iranian music is culturally rooted.
