RAST DESCRIPTION
Rast is a truly beautiful makam with a large and often played repertoire. Rast has an ascending seyir, with important focal points at the first [rast], the fifth [neva], and the eighth (upper octave) [gerdaniye]. In addition the second [dόgah] and fourth [ηargah] are also notes that you will find are rested on often in taksim and many compositions in Rast. The third, [segah], is often stressed as well, but I would argue that this is more a modulation to the makam Segah or Hόzzam rather than a focal point in Rast, though I could be wrong.
Typically the movement will begin by revolving around the first (tonic - [rast]), often falling to the lower fifth [yegah], and hinting up into the 'territory' of [neva], the secondary focal point, and working back to the tonic. In the very beginning, the tonic will often but not always be stressed a great deal. The next step is to the secondary focal point, in which we revolve around [neva]
