quelle perfection

[@emotionalinvalid]

the oud with an Arabic orchestra is much better than with a western orchestra. The reason is Arabic music has those slides, bends, whatever you call them: the blue note. Although the great Hungarian composer Miklos Roza employs this oriental style of bending and sliding notes, whatever you call it. i am not a musicians just a lover of music
