Alaturka: Style in Turkish music (1923-1938)

This output represents more that twenty years of primary research concerning music in Turkey during the early-Republican period. Sources include musical scores (over 600 analysed), sound recordings (over 1,000 catalogued) and concert programmes (over 600 examined). They also include a diverse range of other source materials such as private letters, musical memoirs, official contracts, financial receipts and record sales. A comprehensive scrutiny of contemporary newspapers and relevant publications was completed (in Arabic, English, French, German, Italian, Persian, Ottoman and Turkish) and a prolonged period of ethnographic research was undertaken (including over 70 ethnographic interviews and 200 field recordings).
