	FYUÚN, opium, its production and commerce in Iran

		The new customs tariffs, which in the Persian Gulf came into operation in 1903, set the export duty at 20 percent (Kemball, “Bushire,” 1903, AP 1904, C); as a result export temporarily was diminished (e.g., Shakespear, “Bundar Abbas” and “Bushire,” 1905, AP 1906, CXXVII; Gabriel, “Bundar Abbas,” 1906, AP 1907, XCI).
		In 1972 Iran joined the second New York convention (March, 1961) which annulled and replaced all previous opium conventions (idem, 8035, 1 ˆahr^var 1351 ˆ./23 August 1972).

		The album showcases traditional tunes from India to Persia, New York to Prague.The album begins with the flamboyant klezmer clarinetist Naftule Brandwein's "What Were You Doing Before Prohibition", which has a distinctive Latin feel to it.
		There are three other Brandwein tunes, including the well-known "Araber Tanz," a clever blend of syncopation with Middle Eastern drones as a foundation, and "Der Terk in America," a timeless melody with Sparks' brilliant chording and well-timed melodic counterpoints.

		One of them, ''The Rose of Persia,'' resurfaced at a meeting of the Gilbert and Sullivan Society of New York, at CAMI Hall last Saturday evening.
		''The Rose of Persia,'' composed in 1899, was Sullivan's last finished opera and was the most successful of his post-Gilbert comedies.
		And although Sullivan dressed the text in the jaunty, bright style for which he was famous, ''The Rose of Persia'' is unlikely to be mistaken for a great lost masterpiece.
