    Journal of Arts & Humanities The Development of Polyphonic Music That Started During the Early Years of Republic of Turkey Ilkay Ak1, Sabriye Ozkan2 ABSTRACT The interaction between Turkish Music and western music goes back to the Ottoman period. The artistic trading between these two cultures had started with the Janissary Band, which was an important formation of Ottoman period musical culture. The music in the Ottoman period was lead with a central approach. Changes in values, life styles, and social and economical system, which came with the declaration of republic, had also affected music. As a result, the idea that art is the most important step in changing social life was adopted. Along with these improvements, Turkish composers who were proficient in their areas and foreign composers coming from different countries had immensely contributed to this formation. In this study, the development of the conservatories, which had begun to be institutionalized under leadership of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk during the republic period and brought polyphony to our country, during their formation process is examined. It is aimed for the study to be limited in the light of this information, to be transferred to contemporary musicians and to contribute their professional lives.

  • Preface and Acknowledgments
    PREFACE AND ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This book is the extended form of six public lectures delivered in the Ernest Bloch Lecture Series from September 18 to October 23, 1989, in the Department of Music at the University of California at Berkeley. To my regret, the presentation of this expanded version, which for the most part I had finished by the end of 1992, is somewhat overdue, but not without good reason. For an American publication I found that I could not help but produce, if I may say so, a magnum opus, a summary of three decades of Bartók studies, thereby offering grateful, if belated, thanks to the University of California and to my colleagues and students at Berkeley. It was proba- bly the happiest time of my life: I had the honor not only of presenting the music of Béla Bartók but also, at a turning point in Bartók studies, of outlining the tasks awaiting future research on his oeuvre before the most resonant, expert audience I have ever met outside of my country, Hungary—the homeland of Bartók. Coming half a century after the death of the composer, this is the first book dedicated to the study of Bartók's compositional process to be based on the com- plete existing primary source material. Therefore, a great many things need to be accomplished simultaneously: a description of the sources (chapter 3) as well as the first reliable list of manuscripts (in the appendix); an extensive discussion of Bar- tók's sketches and drafts (chapters 4 and 7); an introduction to auxiliary research fields as for instance in paper studies (chapter 6).

  • Interpreting Tempo and Rubato in Chopin's Music
    Interpreting tempo and rubato in Chopin’s music: A matter of tradition or individual style? Li-San Ting A thesis in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of New South Wales School of the Arts and Media Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences June 2013 ABSTRACT The main goal of this thesis is to gain a greater understanding of Chopin performance and interpretation, particularly in relation to tempo and rubato. This thesis is a comparative study between pianists who are associated with the Chopin tradition, primarily the Polish pianists of the early twentieth century, along with French pianists who are connected to Chopin via pedagogical lineage, and several modern pianists playing on period instruments. Through a detailed analysis of tempo and rubato in selected recordings, this thesis will explore the notions of tradition and individuality in Chopin playing, based on principles of pianism and pedagogy that emerge in Chopin’s writings, his composition, and his students’ accounts. Many pianists and teachers assume that a tradition in playing Chopin exists but the basis for this notion is often not made clear. Certain pianists are considered part of the Chopin tradition because of their indirect pedagogical connection to Chopin. I will investigate claims about tradition in Chopin playing in relation to tempo and rubato and highlight similarities and differences in the playing of pianists of the same or different nationality, pedagogical line or era. I will reveal how the literature on Chopin’s principles regarding tempo and rubato relates to any common or unique traits found in selected recordings.

Received: August 19, 2018 Accepted: September 11, 2018 Online Published: October 9, 2018 doi:10.11114/jets.v6i11.3553 URL: https://doi.org/10.11114/jets.v6i11.3553 Abstract Piano lessons which take place in music education departments involve example works of Turkish and world composers, education music examples, piano literature and learning-teaching techniques. Within this context, Ulvi Cemal Erkin, who is a member of The Turkish Five, wrote a composition called Duyuşlar, which consists of 11 pieces and is used in piano training. In this study, it was aimed to determine the usage of the composition Duyuşlar in the programs of institutions teaching music education in piano lessons in terms of technique, musical, and style characteristics. In accordance with this purpose, interviews are carried out by asking semi-structured interview questions to piano instructors who are using this work in their education process and working in Music Education Departments. The results of the interviews are determined into themes and codes using the qualitative research analysis program NVivo11. As a result, it is observed that the usage frequency in the direction of the themes and the recommended levels to use in the students vary, but the works contribute to piano education in terms of piano techniques, aksak measures, nuances, expressions, tempo and polyphonic techniques.

  • The Correspondence Between Arnold Schoenberg and Universal Edition
    The Correspondence between Arnold Schoenberg and Universal Edition Katharina Bleier Wissenschaftszentrum Arnold Schönberg Universität für Musik und darstellende Kunst Wien Therese Muxeneder Arnold Schönberg Center, Wien ‘[…] publishers and authors cannot remain friends in the long run.’1 The first curator of Schoenberg’s archival legacy was the composer himself: throughout his life he remained an archivally gifted and visionary collector, the guardian of what is now considered an unparalleled heritage in the musical history of the last century. Its spectrum, ranging from compositions and philosophical-political, musical-aesthetic and literary-political writings, to paintings and drawings and finally to the invention of objects, illuminates a personality who as both man and artist resisted to the end the tendency to conform, a personality worth discovering not only for the indelible signature he left upon the music of his century. The Arnold Schönberg Center, established in 1998 in Vienna, is a unique repository of Schoenberg’s archival legacy2 and a cultural institution that is open to the public. The Schoenberg archive is one of the most renowned and comprehensive collections of works by a twentieth-century composer and promotes a broad spectrum of research. In addition to the archive, exhibition and concert facilities, the Center also houses the Arnold Schönberg Research Center (Wissenschaftszentrum Arnold Schönberg, Institut für Musikalische Stilforschung of the Universität für Musik und darstellende Kunst Wien). 19 ARCHIVAL NOTES Sources and Research from the Institute of Music, No. 1 (2016) © Fondazione Giorgio Cini, Venezia ISBN 9788896445136 | ISSN 2499‒832X KATHARINA BLEIER – THERESE MUXENEDER Activities at the Research Center are focused on the Viennese School, particularly in its role as a group that had a lasting influence on twentieth- century music throughout the world.
