Description:Béla Bartók collected folk music in Turkey in 1936. His book about the Anatolian collection did not make a stir, although the work is a milestone in ethnomusicology.What may underlie this lack of scholarly interest? Disregarding for now all sorts of possible explanations, one argument still carries muck weight: Bartok's Turkish collection is so meagre that drawing conclusions valid for the folk music of a people numbering some sixty million is only possible with muck caution and reservation.When I taught at the department of Hungarology at Ankara University, in 1988-1993, I had the opportunity to collect some 1500 tunes. I began my collection in areas where Bartók had stopped his. Then, as fewer and fewer new tunes were found, I shifted my field of research gradually westward. A six-year stay on the spot, the mastery of the Turkish language, and regular collecting, transcribing and analyzing work enabled me to prepare a large body of systematized Turkish material for publication.Are there similar Hungarian and Anatolian tunes? What can the similarities be ascribed to?I attempt to answer these questions in this kook.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
