[1] In the book "History of Iranian Music", Ruhollah Khaleqi writes in part of his memoir about his first meeting with Soma Hozour and his young son:[4] "... Soma Hozour pull a towel on the santoor, held the mallets and began to play.
He became acquainted with music theory, but did not use what he had learned to record his works, and continued his art in a "breast-to-breast" manner.
[7] After the death of his father, Samaei returned to Tehran and, with the guidance of his artist friend Abolhassan Saba, inaugurated his santoor class.
Samaei initially agreed to this and trained students in the country's music department, but due to his interest in officer's uniform, he soon regretted it, returned to the army and was transferred to the Persian Ministry of War.
Ruhollah Khaleqi mentions the five pages left by Parvaneh and Samaei, which are still very influential after seventy years of their lives.
