Radif of Mirza Abdollah for Santur is one of the most respected and comprehensive educational resources for learning the classical Radif of Persian music on the Santur. This collection presents the authentic repertoire of Mirza Abdollah, one of the most influential masters of Persian classical music.

The book has been carefully compiled and arranged by renowned Santur virtuoso Pashang Kamkar, adapting the original Radif—traditionally taught for instruments such as Tar and Setar—to suit the technical and expressive capabilities of the Santur. The musical notation and transcription have been prepared by Dr. Behzad Nadimi, ensuring clarity and accuracy for students and performers.

This volume includes the major Dastgahs (modal systems) and their traditional Gushehs (melodic pieces), providing an essential foundation for students who wish to study the classical structure and aesthetics of Persian music through Santur performance.

The book is particularly recommended for intermediate to advanced Santur students, music scholars, and performers seeking a deeper understanding of the Persian classical repertoire.
