A 34-tone equal tempered scale sample composition of Rãst maqãm. Tonic here is Rãst (G4), developed in the first two bars. Then Hijaz from Nevã (D, dominant), and Rãst from Nevã, and then a free final ornament.
Instruments: Oud, Kamaān (violin), Tablā and riq.
The composition evokes a brief history of a young horse-keeper who gets distracted learning to play chess while the horse getaway and runs after the mare.
