6- Persian classical poetry is musical by itself. It has rhythm that can be easily identified. I have chosen some lines of five poems to let you notice the rhythm (the easier ones). Please listen to the sound files below first. Then try this method with tracks 3 - 5- 6- 9 - 10
Here are the samples:
Sample 1 (track 3)
Sample 2- (track 5)
Sample 3 (track 6)
Sample 4 (track 9)
Sample 5 (track 10)
All right,
