Parviz Yahaghi (Sep 23, 1935 – Feb 2, 2007) was a genius Iranian violinist and distinguished composer. He resided in Tehran city for practically his whole life, and was born and died there. His birth name was Parviz Sedighi Parsi. He was musically educated primarily by his uncle Hossein Yahaghi, a violinist and violin teacher, from whom Parviz adopted the Yahaghi name. During his youth Parviz was exposed to many highly professional musicians in Tehran who were friends of his uncle. A notable visitor at his uncle's house was the violin teacher, composer, and musicologist Abolhasan Saba, who is credited with making improvements in violin playing technique in the Persian tradition. In the 1960s and 1970s in Golha radio program ِYahaghi composed hundreds of pieces both for violin and for celebrated singers in Iran such as Banan, Marzieh, Delkash, Pouran, Elahe, Homeyra, Mahasti, Dariush Raiee and many others. In 1968 Yahaghi married Homeyra (Iranian singer), and during the six years of their life together, he composed lasting songs for Homeyra. They separated in 1974 without having any children. After the 1979 revolution, Homeyra, like many musicians, left Iran, but Yahaghi never left Iran, even though he was not allowed to perform official artistic activities by the Islamic government for many years. Strangely, after his death, the government declared his violin and musical instruments, recording equipment and personal music archive as national and historical property.
