Many important sources, theory books, treatises and song collections, which had been hidden in private collec- tions, have been edited, reprinted, or at least analysed in specific articles and monographs. Western as well as Turkish historians and music historians, begin- ning with Yılmaz Öztuna, Gültekin Oransay, Eckhard Neubauer, Owen Wright, Eugenia Popescu-Judetz, Yalçın Tura, Murat Bardakçı, Walter Feldman, Cem Be- har, Recep Uslu and following them many younger scholars, partially replaced musicians and (ethno-)musicologists in the field of Turkish art music research, and with them a historical, sources-based approach has gained increasing weight. Today the search for and the analysis of sources is a central field of Turkish mu- sicology, and will probably remain so for several more years. Still a great number of sources deserve scientific editions, such as the Kevserî Mecmuası, the collections with Hamparsum notation of the 19th century, or the only recently discovered post-Byzantine manuscripts (see Kalaitzidis in this book). In particular the scien- tific edition of music notations (which was in Europe the central field of musi- cology for more than a century) has hardly begun and will last at least two more decades. However, together with the increasing knowledge of sources the general his- torical outline, the cohesion between the growing amount of detail has been in danger of being lost. Whereas the existence of these source gives rise to the hope that a kind of Ottoman-Turkish music history going back to earlier than the start of the 20th century could be possible (different from so many other music cul- tures in which no written sources exist), even if concepts of historiography and strategies of writing an encompassing history have hardly been discussed. In order to reflect the conditions of writing music history in Turkey today several authors in the present volume begin their reflections by looking back to the story of mu- sic history in Turkey itself, from its beginnings around 1900 until today. The title of this book already indicates two general problems of the project. The term “Ottoman music” used here obviously replaces the notion of “Turkish music” as used in many Turkish publications, beginning with Rauf Yekta’s pio- neering article in the Encyclopédie Lavignac (1922), up to Öztuna’s Encyclopedia of Turkish Music (1976/90) and many recent Turkish books on music history (e.g. Özalp 1986). Also many older western publications referred to “Turkish music”, and it was only the historical approach that insisted on the foundation of a “Turk- ish Republic” in 1923, and reminded to the different, even pejorative use of the term “Turkish” before. Together with the influence of Turkish nationalism, also © 2016 Orient-Institut Istanbul https://doi.org/10.5771/9783956507038, am 30.09.2021, 23:15:38 Open Access - http://www.nomos-elibrary.de/agb 8 MARTIN GREVE the impact of western orientalism needs to be taken into account, in particular for the period immediately before the emergence of music history in Turkey (Aksoy, Öztürk). In particular for the study of folk music history the discussion on Turkish na- tionalism and its influence on music and musical life in the early Republican era is crucial (Öztürkmen, Öztürk). In this field the turn to a historical approach has dramatic consequences: instead of a history of “Turkish music” that claims to cover virtually thousands of years, beginning in a mystical Central Asian prehis- tory, a source-based historical approach will in most cases reduce the scope of music history to the 19th and 20th century. Oral history is still a
