Music
My favorite types of music:
- Classical Music
- I prefer to call it International Art Music because it belongs to the whole
world. It is wonderful to see musicians from different nations come together and speak one universal language. Although, until a couple of centuries ago, it was mostly the European Art Music (hence the name Western Classical Music), by 20th century it became a universal art form. International Art Music has no borders.
- Folk Music of various Nations [Iranian (Persian, Gilaki, Azari,
Kurdish, ...), Armenian, Russian, Romanian, Irish, Greek, American, French, German, Mexican and
...]
- Jazz (Progressive, Modern, Free and Avant-Garde as well as Latin)
- Traditional Art Music of Various Nations (India, Iran, China and ...)
