Fasıl
The fasıl is a suite in Ottoman classical music. It is similar to the Arabic nawba and waslah.
A classical fasıl generally includes movements such as taksim, peşrev, kâr, beste, ağır semâ'î, yürük semâ'î, gazel, şarkı and saz semâ'î, played continuously without interludes and interconnected through aranağme arrangements.
A modern fasıl typically includes movements such as taksim, peşrev, şarkı , yürük semâ'î, Türk aksağı, taksim, şarkı and saz semâ'î.
Traditional Fasıl is a musical act distinct from the performance of "oriental" or "arabesque" pop and folk songs found at meyhanes and taverns, which have come to be sometimes referred by the same name.
