Use of quick and various motions and indicating all the postures of the content of the story, such as showing respect, prayer, indicating to a far place or other directions, getting on a horse and horse riding, shooting an arrow from a bow, leaning on a cane, countless references to the curtain and audience contact, are all the principle characteristics of Morshed Qasem Hemmati's performance . It seems that in his movements he innovates a new interpretation which is a combination of earlier postures of the traditional Pardekhans (curtain-storytellers) and his own mental personal conceptions of today. 
In general, contrary to some of the Pardekhans who concentrate on singing performance and this causes their performance to become internal- as [[Ta'ziya]] singers (sung-players) who sing Pardekhani- Morshed Hemmati tends to perform with objective outer adjectives.

The Pardekhan transmits the story of the gathering of Jasem the Arab with a mixture of pitches of Shur mode and using melodies of Avaz e Abuata, Dashti, and Dahtestani tones. The accents of the phrases is on the first and second notes of the second notes of the second tetrachord and the ending are on the Shahed of Shur. This Pardekhani does not completely correspond to Radif music in terms of method of performance, poetic emphasis, melodic, movement and relation of intervals even though it resembles it, and sometimes in the singing of Pardekhani the intervals heard move outside the range of Dastgah (mode) music. However, in general the musical space is inspired  by Shur Dastgah.
