On letterhead of Downing College Cambridge. 1 February 1909. 2pp.12mo. In good condition lightly aged and worn. He has been informed by 'Mr. Hill of the Victoria & Albert Museum' that Harington has 'a Backstaff'. Adams has been 'looking out for one for some years' without success and would like to purchase Harington's if he has 'no use for it. 'I think Mr. Hill mentioned to you that I had a collection of old navigating instruments & he has very kindly been trying to find a backstaff for me'. He ends in the hope that Harington will 'excuse the zeal of the collector'. According to Bruyns and Dunn 'Sextants at Greenwich' 2009 Adams' search for a backstaff proved unsuccessful. Harington succeeded to the title in 1911. From the Harington family papers. On letterhead of Downing College, Cambridge. 1 February 1909. unknown

Compositions for Baglama: In Baglama Bozuk, Misket and Müstezat tunings.= Baglama için besteler: Baglama, Bozuk, Misket ve Müstezat düzenlerinde.
New English Paperback. 4to. (32 x 24 cm). In English and Turkish. 176 p., musical scores. Compositions for baglama: In baglama Bozuk, Misket and Müstezat tunings.= Baglama için besteler: Baglama, Bozuk, Misket ve Müstezat düzenlerinde. The instrument of Baglama, which has been shaped within many years in the rural areas and has a rich and profound history, began to create its tradition in the urban areas after the establishment of the Turkish Republic. In the past, this instrument mostly passed down the vocal melodies; however, now it is agreed by many music authorities that it is about time it must be a part of instrumental music on its own as well. The primary purpose of this book is to contribute to Baglama new tradition without ignoring its richness dating back to old times. This book involves twenty works composed in the tunings of baglama, of bozuk, of misket and of müstezat. Those compositions, prepared to be played in both picked and pickless (selpe) styles, are thought to be beneficial for baglama education as well, and thus it is agreed that methodical symbols should be used in the notation.

EUGENIA POPESCU-JUDETZ.
A summary catalogue of the Turkish makams. With a CD.
New English Paperback. Pbo. Roy. 8vo. (24 x 17 cm). In English. 164 p. For over three decades I had the opportunity to research on Ottoman musical writings in the Turkish libraries and to consult private collections. Concurrently, I was able to study Ottoman musical manuscripts kept in libraries outside Turkey. Along those years of research I carried out persistent investigations that gave me access to a large number of Ottoman materials ranging from the fifteenth century to the end of the nineteenth century. As a result of examining numerous musical manuscripts in Ottoman Turkish literature I discerned the commonplace of themes in the majority of writings and evaluated their structure at formal and generative level. Moreover, I was able to ascertain the significant purport of certain sources over others and to compare several versions of the texts. The idea of this catalogue evolved gradually in my mind from the perception that an explicit presentation of the makams would constitute a valuable reference both for evaluating the historical process of creating and performing music, as well as for establishing the inventory of modal categories and their taxonomic relations. As time passed, I was able to determine the development of a genuine Turkish concept in works that provided descriptive and analytical matter, and to detect through manuscript lines the significance of the process involving the semantics of the practice of music at different periods. The present book is mainly focused upon the practical theory of the makams reflected in the production and performance of the melodic scales the way they are described in Ottoman manuscripts.
