Turquie

Traditions

• Ottoman classical music contributes the peşrev, an instrumental prelude, and the meyhane fasıl, the suite played through a long evening.
• Thracian karşılama is danced in nine beats, grouped unevenly — one of the asymmetric metres that run through Balkan and Anatolian music alike.
• The Aegean zeybek is slow and wide, danced solo with arms outstretched, in a nine-beat cycle of its own.
• On the Black Sea coast the horon is fast and tight, driven by the three-stringed kemençe.
• The âşık tradition of central Anatolia is sung poetry, accompanied by the player's own bağlama.
• In Konya the ney belongs to the Sufi ceremony; in the Taurus mountains the Yörük kaval belongs to the shepherds.

Instruments

• Bağlama — long-necked lute of the Anatolian âşık
