  • Acem Yegahi Pesrev is composed by Dimitrie Cantemir (Kantemiroglu) in 18th century, so it's not an anonymous pesrev. You can hear it played by Kudsi Erguner, on album Beyzade. The score of this pesrev can be found at "neyzen" website.

  • No, there is no proof that the pesrev was composed by Cantemir. It is only recorded by him in his collection of notations.

  • I don't know maybe you are right. But Cantemir in his "Kitab-i-musiki" notated 341 turkish classical compositions, where 43 of them are original compositions of his own. I must find out if "Acem Yegahi" is one of the 43 compositions.

  • Actually, I've been working on that book for a while. What I see is that he notated 350 instrumental pieces in his "Kitab-i Musiki," out of which only 15 are recorded with his name. But many other pieces by him have been transmitted through oral tradition. BTW, it's really nice to see somebody interested in this kind of stuff here.

  • btw, what book are you using and where can I buy it from?

  • i have judetz's book too, and i find some of her remarks questionable. i am using the facsimile of the original manuscript. it was prepared by yalcin tura and published in early 2000s in Turkey. unfortunately it is quite difficult to find a copy of it today. btw, i don't usually check here. you can feel free to send me a message if you have further questions.

  • To all Cantemir reverees; dear friends I have long been looking for albums containing only Cantemir's compositions, so if someone helps me in my search I will be thankful from my heart. I believe his compositions come from somewhere heavenly. God bless his soul!

  • I've bought a new book, "Prince Dimitrie Cantemir, Theorist and Composer of Turkish Music" by Eugenia Popescu-Judetz an ethnomusicologist in Turkish musical writings. I've read there that the first 22 pieces from Edvar II of Kitab-i musiki are also listed by Cantemir in Edvar I, where the appellative cedîd or hakîr identifies his compositions and it is accepted by Turkish musicians and musicologists as authentic Kantemiroglu. Acem Yegahi has the number 21 in Edvar II and is one of them.

  • Her zamanki kanuncu tripleri..Amma velakin bi numara yok

  • What an illeterate comment. Shame on you:) Kanuni is the title given to Suleyman the Magnificent which in this context means lawmaker.
