Veronica A. Sedykh

Abstract

The article describes the formation of theory of Turkish music, in which the primary role was played by such scholars as Rauf Yekta Bey, Suphi Ezgi and Sadeddin Arel. As a result of comparison of Arabian and Turkish maqams, Turkish researchers established the difference between interval and scale systems, combination of tetrachords and pentachords, considering these factors as topical for detection of originality of Turkish maqam. The article offers the comparative analysis of theoretical systems of Turkish music and the system of the Arabic scholar Safi ad-Din al-Urmavi. The Turkish theory of music, although connected with the Arabian theory; retains it specificity and originality.

Keywords: turkish maqam, turkish theorists, mode, intervals, Scales
