Question about Hijaz Kar
Dear Friends,
While working on this very nice samai in Hijaz Kar, I was puzzled with something.
In several places, the accidental D# is used, seemingly as a leading-tone to busalik (E). If I remember well I noticed the same in other music
pieces in Hijaz Kar....
So what does this really mean? (I think it cannot be to emphasize a secondary jins, kurd on E, as there the leading-tone to the tonic is one full
tone below...)
Thanks !
Dan

Salut Danielo,
The D# you're talking about is a dint to E, sometimes called hassas al-hassas, in other words a leading tone to the leading tone (this is really usual
in Hijaz tetrachord).
D# leads to E, E last for a while (one quarter note) before its resolution on the attack on F which is the tonic of a second jins (Nawa Athar). I
would see E as a pivot between F, G and C.
Also you've got interesting things after the fourth bar!
I hope it helps.
