The judgment of beauty incorporates an array of ethical queries conveyed through a language that is heavily entangled with Islamic revelations, mystical beliefs and traditional values. The three ustādān’s perceptions of beauty are articulated through their understandings of how akhlāq (ethics, morals or manners) shapes the ideals of mūsīqī-e sonnatī. Akhlāq defines a set of principles that form the attitudes and actions relevant to the process of music-making. This dissertation examines the judgment of beauty and akhlāq in relation to mūsīqī-e sonnatī based on an examination of language, logic, politics and metaphysics.
