İsmail Yörükçüoğlu

Muallim İsmâîl Hakkı Bey has an important place in the history of Turkish music. The Muallim İsmâîl Hakkı Bey Collection, which bears his name, is an important source for Turkish music. In this study, the notebook number 274 and its contents in the TRT Muallim İsmâîl Hakkı Bey Collection were examined and classified. The notebook is registered in the Presidency State Archives, Ottoman Archives, Muallim İsmâîl Hakkı Bey Collection with the file number TRT. MD. d. 378. The notes in the notebook are written with the Hamparsum notation system. There are 38 works in song form recorded in the notebook. The study is a descriptive research. The research model was determined as " scanning model". In the research, firstly the notebook was introduced and the works in the notebook were classified on the table. Then, the works in the notebook are explained with graphics in terms of their composers, maqams, and usuls. Within the limitations of the study, the works in the notebook were examined by comparing them with today's sources. As a result of the study, it was determined that the works in the notebook were generally notated at a slower speed than the usuls recorded in their identifiers. As a result of the examination and comparison of the information on the works in the notebook, no extant data could be determined for 22 songs. Three of these works could not be identified due to the lack of data on their identities.

EXTENDED ABSTRACT


Understanding Turkish music is possible by examining its sources that have survived to the present day and have not yet been studied. For this reason, it is important to examine the sources in state archives or personal archives. In this way, a contribution will be made to the rich repertoire volume and sure steps will be taken to better understand Turkish music. The Muallim İsmâîl Hakkı Bey Collection is considered to be important for studies to be carried out in this direction.

In this study, the notebook number 274 and the contents of the notebook in the TRT Muallim İsmâîl Hakkı Bey Collection were examined and classified. The notebook is registered in the Presidency State Archives, Ottoman Archives Muallim İsmâîl Hakkı Bey Collection with the file number TRT. MD. d. 378.

The aim of the research is to classify the content of notebook number 274 in the Muallim İsmâîl Hakkı Bey Collection and to compare the works in the notebook with the information on the works that have survived to the present day. The study to be conducted is important in terms of presenting the works in the notebook to the use and information of today's researchers. The study is limited to examining the notebook number 274 in the Muallim İsmâîl Hakkı Bey Collection, the classification of the works in the notebook, the work identifiers in the notebook, and the information about the works that has survived to the present day by comparing them with the accessible data.

The study is a descriptive research. The research model was determined as the "scanning model" in order to classify the works in the book number 274 of the Muallim İsmâîl Hakkı Bey Collection and to comparatively examine the information in the work descriptions with the data that has reached today. Content analysis was applied in order to classify the works in the book number 274 of the Muallim İsmâîl Hakkı Bey Collection and to examine the information in the work descriptions by comparing them with the information that has reached today.

The notebook contains works in song form. The works in the notebook are written with the Hamparsum notation system. There are 38 works registered in the notebook. In the research, firstly the notebook was introduced. The identification information written in Ottoman and Latin letters in the notebook was examined in the study and classified on the table. Each work is numbered sequentially on the table. The works in the notebook are classified according to maqam, usul and composer information and concretized with graphics. Then, the works were examined according to their serial numbers within the information in their identifiers and compared with the information in the determined sources. In this way, it was investigated whether the works had survived to the present day, and if there were, the surviving data and the information in the notebook were compared. 

Based on the composers included in the notebook, it was concluded that the notebook could have been written in the period from the last quarter of the 19th century until 1927. When the usuls written on the titles of the works in the notebook were compared with the weight values on the notes, it was determined that the works were generally written at a slower pace. It was concluded that this situation occurred because the notator thought and evaluated the metronome speed more slowly. In some works, more or less differences have been identified between the usul information written in the work's identifiers in the notebook and the usul information that has survived to the present day about the work. It has been determined that the names of some of the composers included in the notebook are not clearly stated. No information has survived to the present day about the 22 works included in the notebook. Three of these works could not be identified due to lack of sufficient data on their identities.
