Dokhtarak Joolideh - classification
https://youtu.be/p3nM9psZNDI
I've been learning this well known composition by master Alinaqi Vaziri !
Does anyone know if this piece would be classified as a Reng or Chahar-mezrab, or maybe some other established form in Persian classical music? It has
a strong 123,123 feel in the timing, maybe 3/4 or 6/8
It may not fit into these as Ostad Vaziri was something of an innovator and genre-blender. Just curious!

Hi Chris,
Nice piece to select, certainly challenging as well. As you said it yourself, Vaziri pieces have a category of their own and don't quite fit within
traditional boundaries.This piece sounds somewhere between a Reng and a Chahar-Mezrab.

The liner notes of one recording I have call it "an instrumental" so you're in good company. Maybe its category is "none of the above". The title
seems to indicate a girl with messy hair. It's in the Uncombed Category maybe.
Does anyone know what that oud is? Good appearance and sound!

One score puts it in 6/8 time.

Hi Jody,
It's likely made by "Massoud Agha mohammadi" in Tehran:

He is among the top oud makers in Iran, some rank him as the very best.

Looking at this score kind of makes my eyes bleed; this may be a case in which learning by ear is actually easier. But, in case you get stuck or want
to compare to what you believe you hear, I found one here: https://notkade.com/%D9%86%D8%AA-%D8%AA%D8%A7%D8%B1-%D8%AF%D8%AE%D8%... Also, here is a version played on baglama: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rBNqT1N8JrE&ab_channel=Soranpour...

Woooow that ?elpe version is amazing! Although i think the notes are a bit more like hijaz kar than chahar-gah, maybe the 2nd and 6th koron notes are
either flatter in his region than Iran proper. I believe it was Ostad Vaziri who evenly divided the octave into perfect quartertones and came up with
the score marks to transcribe persian microtones!
