Rezakhani

by Steve Landsberg

Although it has l6 beats like Maseetkhani, it has a different rhythmic structure and patterning of right hand strokes. Rezakhani has a stayee and antara and is played at medium and high speeds. The toras (improvisational patterning of notes) have a different structure than those that are used to ornament the Maseetkhani composition.
