The revision contents are below, presented both in the original Wikispaces Wikitext format, and in HTML exactly as Wikispaces rendered it.
Original Wikitext content:
The music of the arabic/turkish/persian cultural area is one of the important microtonal music traditions. A central concept is the "maqam", which corresponds more or less (but not exactly) to the western "mode". An introduction into maqam theory can be found on [[http://www.maqamworld.com/|http://www.maqamworld.com]]. There have been various endeavours to establish a common tuning standard; but none of these has been really successful (at least not as successful as 12edo in the western music). [[24edo]] has found a certain dissemination, especially in the arabic world; but many consider it a bad compromise.
