CLASSIC TURKISH MUSIC

Western Artists

Many artists in the West have formed the basis of their own music from the essence of their national culture. (Age, in the time connecting the 19th century to the 20th century) There are many examples of this. For example, H. Kjerulf (1815-1868), who directed Scandinavian music, Edduard Grieg (1843-1907), one of the famous masters of Czech music, Smetana (1824-1884), the famous Russian composer Tchaikovsky (1840-1893), Granoda Tarina, Manuel de Folla. The main masters of Spanish music and B. Bartok (1881-1945) are among the artists that immediately come to mind.

Would itrîler Dedes, the masters of the era when the west admired Turkish music, have remained indifferent to western art if they had lived today? As a matter of fact, husband Itri found a way to benefit from western musicians among the prisoners coming from the Mediterranean.
