In fact the idea of dividing scales into equal intervals is an outcome of westerniza- tion in Persian music. Some of the musicians who studied western music have felt the absence of harmony in their music and they tried to find a solution. In western music, the smallest interval is a semitone. They were aware of the fact that it is not possible to represent Persian music with whole-tones and semitones when their music contained unmistakably some other intervals, so they represented the quartertone as the smallest unit. Western musical influences begin in Persia by the second half of nineteenth centu- ry when Naser-eddin Shah who ruled from 1848 to 1896, visited Europe on three different occasions. He was impressed by the ceremonies where military bands were performing music. After his first tour to Europe he ordered the establishment of a musical school to train musicians for his imperial military band.
