As part of the new project of the International Mugham Center “Azerbaijani Mugham”, master classes “Ustad dərsi” dedicated to the performing art of playing the tar continue. The next lesson of the famous tar player and teacher Elkhan Muzaffarov was dedicated to the Nava mugam, which is performed extremely rarely and is known to few music connoisseurs, and is one of the little-studied and forgotten mugams, Day.Az reports.
The master noted that despite the fact that the Nava mugham is included in the curriculum, there are a small number of performers who know this mugham accurately. Among the performers of “Nava” one can note the names of outstanding performers Akhmed Bakikhanov, Bakhram Mansurov, as well as the performers of our time Vamiga Mamedaliev and Sabuhi Jafarov.
This mugham is included in the list of complex mughams. The master also mentioned that in addition to its originality during instrumental performance, the “Nava” mugham also has originality during the performance of the khanende, and also requires extensive experience in musical skill. Elkhan Muzaffarov informed the participants about the differences between the “Nava” mugam and other mugams and noted that it arose as a result of the merger of several mugams, includes “Dashti” and “Bayaty-Kurd” and has a more ancient history than the “Shur” dasgah.
At the lesson, which was remembered for interesting and meaningful discussions and analysis by the participants of mugams and the technique of their performance, problems regarding gaps in the teaching of mugham dasgahs were raised, and sections of “Nava”, transitions between sections and additional tones were discussed.
The goal of the project is to preserve and pass on to future generations the Azerbaijani school of classical performance, preserving the “mentor-student” tradition. The master classes, which will be held regularly throughout the year, are planned to involve prominent representatives of the performing arts on containers.
Participation in master classes is free and anyone can take part.
