A Dictionary of Music and Musicians/Ghazel

GHAZEL. A short form of Persian poetry in which the rhyme of the two first lines is repeated in every alternate line throughout the piece. The name has been adopted by F. Hiller for a Pianoforte piece (Op. 54, 130) in which a phrase recurs occasionally as a refrain.
