This book has been written for learners who know most technical and theoretical techniques used on the Oud. Such skills include: playing accurately in all three positions; playing a maqam or a song in only the 2nd or 3rd positions; using ornamentation in the 2nd position and sometimes the 3rd; knowing maqam transpositions from main notes and open strings; and understanding different kinds of technical transpositions. In this book, most of the pieces studied are very well-known master pieces. A masterpiece is a pieceof music that combines high technique with a high level of expressing the feeling, spirit and soul of the music being played. This feeling is known as rouhiyyah in Arabic. The material in this book will guide you through these masterpieces and simplify the way they are played to help you progress using correct playing techniques.
