I have some knowledge, I'm not actually a beginner. The problem is that I don't know who I should follow from now on.
For example, there are some psaltai who chant only what is written, without any attractions. They say that the Maistores in 1814 wanted to decrypt the music and we encrypt it again, without chanting what is written. The attractions were allways marked and they were exceptions, not rules.
Another issue related to first one is the relationship with the maqams. Some search the roots there, where aren't this kind of attractions we hear in present....
I'm very confused...
