Biography

Rizq’s 1936 history identifies Muhammad Uthman’s teacher as Mansi the elder, father of Constant Mansi.

Uthman later worked with Ali al-Rashidi and formed a takht. Voice loss led him towards composition. Rizq describes his hank response practice, an Istanbul journey with Hamuli and death on 19 December 1900.
