Notation edit

The article states that Farabi recorded an extensive body of music. How did he do this? He must have had some sort of musical notation. However, there is nothing in this article about Sasanian musical notation, nor in the article on Farabi.Bill (talk) 02:57, 19 July 2015 (UTC)Reply


Farabi edit

"Five centuries after Barbod's death, Farabi made a record of all the musical pieces of his period and described the ancient note recording method." Farabi deceased in 950/951 (according to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al-Farabi), while Barbod died in 628 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barbad). Not even four centuries.
