What is the Iranian violin?
Traditional and classical Iranian violins are different. For example, in the classical style, the tuning is always fixed, but in the Iranian style, different tunes are used. In classical style, the violin is always played with other instruments, and in most cases with the piano. While the Iranian violin solo is more famous, different tunings are used to compensate for the other sounds and ease of fingering. In the Iranian violin training class, books such as the Ruhollah Khaleghi Iranian violin training book and the Radif Saba violin book are used. These books focus on introducing different Iranian musical instruments, the corners of the instruments, teaching Iranian violin tuning, and smoothing the fingers. The important question is which one is better, Iranian or classical violin? As many students say, Iranian violin is more difficult to learn than classical and the student should get acquainted with the classical style first. Among the most important Iranian violinists, we can mention Habiba Allah Khaleghi, Parviz and Hossein Yahaghi, Abolhassan Saba, Mehdi Khaledi, Ali Tajvidi, Assadollah Malek, etc., who have played a variety of happy Iranian violin songs.
Music in Berlin
Since the 18th century, Berlin has been an influential music center in Germany and Europe. First as an important commercial city in the Union of the Hanseatic League, then as the electoral capital of Brandenburg and the Kingdom of Prussia, then as one of the largest cities in Germany, it developed an influential musical culture that persists to this day. Berlin can be seen as a platform for the growth of a powerful choir movement that played an important role in the widespread socialization of music in Germany during the nineteenth century. Berlin has three main opera houses: The Deutsche Welle, the Berlin State Opera, and the Komichi Opera. Many important music figures were born or worked in Berlin. Composers such as Johann Joachim Quantz, Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach, The Gran Brothers, Wilhelm Friedmann Bach, Karl Friedrich Christian Fash, Johann Friedrich Reichart, Karl Friedrich Zelter, etc. all belong to this city. In addition, Berlin is known as the center of music theory and criticism in the eighteenth century with prominent figures such as Friedrich Wilhelm Marporg, Johann Philipp Kronberger, Quantz, and CPA Bach, whose treatises are known throughout Europe.
