Maqam Nahawand has two versions shown above.
In general the first version (Nahawand-Hijaz) is used
on the way up, and the second version (Nahawand-Kurd)
is used on the way down. The secondary jins is the Ajam
trichord on the 3rd note, often used in modulation.
When starting on lower G, this maqam is called
maqam Sultani Yakah.
Maqam Farahfaza has the same tonal intervals as
maqam Nahawand transposed on G.
However its melodic development is different, and makes
much use of the Ajam
trichord on the third (B).
Maqam Nahawand Murassah should not be confused
with form 1 of maqam Nahawand
(Nahawand-Hijaz), since although they both have the same
lower and upper ajnas, the starting point of the Hijaz
tetrachord (which is also the dominant) is a different
note.
In the Busalik tetrachord,
the tuning of the third note (F) is lower than
the similar Nahawand
tetrachord. The difference in tuning is about 1/9th of
a tone (called koma in Turkish msuic).
