XX. YY Başlarından Günümüze Türk Müziğinde Ana Dizi Sorununun Çözümüne İlişkin Yaklaşımlar.

Since the ninth century many a musicologist conducted research on classical Turkish musicians and their sound systems. These studies were initiated by Farabi and İbni Sina in the 9th century. They were taken over by Safiyüddin and Abdülkadir of Meraga in the 13 th and 15th centuries respectively. In the course of following centuries, some other theoretical works were composed. Al-Kindi, Hızır Bin Abdullah, Bedri Dilşad, Ladikli Mehmet Çelebi, şükrullah, Molla, Kantemiroğlu, Abdülbâtki Nastr Dede, Hakim Bey were musicologists who depended on the systematic school. Our musicologist being enlightened with these written works became interested in the theory of Turkish Music and begun rendering their own ideas. Especially the scientific side of our music was scrutinized, physical and mathematical sources were investigated. The sheikh of the Galata lodge of Mevlevi dervishes Ataullah Efendi, the sheikh of Yenikapt lodge of the Mevlevi dervishes Celaleddin Dede Efendi and the sheikh of the Bahriye lodge of Mevlevi Dervishes Hüseyin Fahreddin Dede were path breaking fine musicians promoting these studies and transmitted their knowledge to the following progeny of followers. The initial scientific work bears the signature of Rauf Yekta Bey, from which he exploited ways and means to establish a well founded order in our musical tradition. Thanks to immaculate achievements of Arel, Ezgi and Uzdilek, his prime studies were endowed with progress, and established in an order. Today's systems are comprised of 24 unequal intervals and 25 sounds. They are named Arel, Ezgi, and Uzdilek system. There are many other national qualified musicians in the twentieth century other than Arel, Ezgi and Uzdilek, who have voiced their ideas. All the system theories in this work are defined and compared with each other according to basic mode (makam). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
