Each has descriptive name and associated character Gusheh: subdivision of a dastgah; “central nuclear melody” Radif: Repertoire of several hundred melodies or gushehs in all 12 dastgahs memorized by students and used as basis for improvisation and composition

DASTGAH = SHUR SELECTED GUSHES (melodic motifs)
