One of his works was the translation of Harmony, which was carried out with the help of Mozayyan al-Dowleh, and included a pamphlet based on which he used to teach the subject to the students of the school of music; the pamphlet was never published.

However, the organization of these festivals has always been one of the challenging issues of ethnomusicology.
