This book is a substantial and thorough musicological analysis of
Turkish folk music. It reproduces in facsimile Bartok's autograph
record of eighty seven vocal and instrumental peasant melodies of
the Yuruk Tribes, a nomadic people in southern Anatolia. Bartok's
introduction includes his annotations of the melodies, texts, and
translations and establishes a connection between Old Hungarian and
Old Turkish folk music. Begun in 1936 and completed in 1943, the
work was Bartok's last major essay. The editor, Dr. Benjamin
Suchoff, has provided an historical introduction and a chronology
of the various manuscript versions. An afterword by Kurt Reinhard
describes recent research in Turkish ethnomusicology and gives a
contemporary assessment of Bartok's field work in Turkey.
Appendices prepared by the editor include an index of themes
compiled by computer. Originally published in 1976. The Princeton
Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again
make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished
backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the
original texts of these important books while presenting them in
durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton
Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly
heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton
University Press since its founding in 1905.
