Its ternary AABA melody is based on the Middle Eastern maqam nahawand (the harmonic Minor mode).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn this version for piano four hands, the composer presents the theme of Bint El Shalabiya alone, in an Allegro energico style reminiscent of a toccata. The rhythm follows the characteristic aksak pattern (3 + 3 + 2) of Levantine music, giving the piece its lively and asymmetrical pulse.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis theme had already served as the foundation for the composer's Levantine Variations for cello and piano (2021), later expanded into an orchestral version for cello and orchestra.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"United Music Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44649911025743,"sku":"UMP27349","price":21.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0900\/1828\/files\/5d3437af4d2654ca2f6b26cc835cff4e.png?v=1773073935","url":"https:\/\/www.ficksmusic.com\/fr\/products\/bint-el-shalabiya-arr-for-piano-4-hands-united","provider":"Ficks Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
