Fantasy in Mugham Style - Asaf Zeynalli

Thank you to the Azerbaijan-American Music Foundation for sharing this beautiful piece by Asaf Zeynalli as part of their online competition.
Zeynalli was a wonderful composer who passed away at the young age of 23, leaving behind a legacy of beautiful compositions, including this beautiful violin and piano piece, straight from the heart of Azerbaijan.
As I come from an Arabic music background, I really enjoyed approaching this piece from the perspective of our Nahawand Maqam. The violin tuning I used is GDGD and I added some light ornamentation to give the piece a part of my own soul and character.
We hope you enjoy this rendition!
