Subject: translation of 9afaq response

'Afqa is a common term which can have several meanings, notably: the brief
emission of a sharp note in a close melodic sketch, often in thirds or
fourths, almost a short trill in thirds or fourths.  I think that the text
evoked here supposes that the note buzurk (mi) is obtained by a rapid
alternation of the second finger with the open string.(do)


(this is my translation of what Nidaa gave as his translation of this
musical term.  I'll only add that I love his compositions and playing. I
hope this is useful.) charles mcnulty
