Gérard Genet's theory of transtextuality categorizes multiple types of relationships between texts and has been the subject of numerous studies in various fields of art throughout past years. But the analysis and review of musical texts with the approach of transtextuality, especially in Iranian classical music, could be considered a new approach to this field. During the last century, despite various narratives, the Radif text has always been an important reference in the creation of musical works, particularly in non-metric musics. This paper, with a structuralist approach, a descriptive-analytical/comparative method, by means of library texts, and by using the five-fold division of Gérard Genet's theory of transtextuality tries to describe and analyze the connections between the non-metric sections of the album Nava Morakabkhani, which is one of the most important works in the history of Iranian classical music,with Radif. By introducing a new division of compositional types (fixed, close, middle and distant) according to musical encounters in the studied sample and types of intratextual relationships (intertextuality, paratextuality, metatextuality, architextuality, and hypertextuality) with the texts of reference Radifs, respectively those of Mirza Abdullah and Abdullah Davami, the authors have studied and proposed the possibility of new types of morakabnavazi. The results of this research could be used to develop theoretical studies and diversity in musical productions from a practical aspect with the aim of providing mutual exchanges between theory and practice in Iranian classical music. It also shows the necessity and importance of diligence in creating various transformations in the modal arrangement for creating new formal cycles based on the roots of the Dastgah system.
