Homayun Shushtar Bidad

After the third maqam concert I have musical notation of these three forms, three sets of treble clef scales I can play on the piano, with an arrow from D to C above middle C (Homayun), from G to middle C (Shushtar or Chakovak http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mugham), and from G to D (Bidad of Hijaz Misri http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7R3Z5QdOJ7M). And I still do not understand. I'm guessing that the indicated notes show resolution. Not even Wikipedia can get my mind out of its stubborn Western set.

Bu http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7UPhlmO1FI0 is clear to my ears.
