[3] The Azerbaijani tar player Bahram Mansurov notes that Bayaty-Shiraz, formerly known as Bayaty-Isfahan, existed as independent dastgah only in the early 19th century.
M. Navab described Bayaty-Shiraz mugham as a section in the “Vuzuhul-Argam” treatise, and named the fifth of 12 mug-hams as Isfahan.
"Ba-62 yati-Shiraz" and its classifications, colors and many folk songs and dances have been created on the base of Bayati-Shiraz.
Composer Uzeyir Hajibeyov said that Bayaty-Shiraz mugam arouses a sense of sadness in the listeners.
In the table compiled by Mirza Faraj Rzayev, Bayati-Shiraz consisted of 17 sections and chapters: “Daramed”, “Bayati-Isfahan”, “Bayati-Shiraz”, “Abul-Chap”, “Jafariyya”, “Budashti”, “Bayati-Kurd”, “Haji Yuni”, “Gilachi, Dashti”, “Mahdi-Zerrabi”, “Qatar”, “Bayati”, “Ashiqi-Gush”, “Niiriz-Davudi” and “Huzzal”.
In 1925, in the program prepared by Hajibeyov, the Bayaty-Shiraz dastgah was described as "Bayati-Isfahan" and consisted of ten sections and chapters: "Maye-Bayati-Shiraz", "Bayati-Isfahan", "Abul-chap", "Azerbaijan", “Bayaty-Kurd”, “Haji Yuni”, “Dashti”, “Qatar”, “Huzzal” and “Bayati-Shiraz.” When comparing the Bayaty-Shiraz dastgahs in the mugham table of M. F. Rzayev and the mugham program of Uzeyir Hajibeyov, it turns out that, some sections and chapters are same.
[4] Presently the Bayaty-Shiraz dastgah consists of 8 sections and chapters: “Bardasht”, “Maye-Bayati-Shiraz”, “Nishibi-Faraz”, “Bayati-Isfahan”, “Zil Bayat-Shiraz”, “Khavaran”, “Huzzal”, “Dulruba” and “Foot to Bayati-Shiraz” (cadence).
The "Bayati Isfahan", the central part of the Bayati-Shiraz covers the average range of dastgah in the tessitura.
