The work is presented here as an Ottoman Turkish printed sheet from the late 1910s and was published in Istanbul by Udcu Kudmanizade Şamlı İskender. This example forms part of the publisher’s Müntehabat series and is identified as No. 494, documenting the circulation of instrumental Turkish music through printed notation.\u003cspan class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchor\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\" data-start=\"582\" data-end=\"1278\"\u003ePublished by Kudmanizâde Udî Şamlı İskender, the sheet belongs to the important music publishing tradition associated with the Şamlı İskender family. The family had origins in Damascus and became known in Istanbul by the nickname “Şamlı,” which was also incorporated into the name of the publishing business. During the late Ottoman and early Republican periods, when access to sound recordings, radio and other forms of musical reproduction was limited, printed sheet music provided musicians and music enthusiasts with an important means of learning and preserving musical works. The publications of Şamlı İskender therefore form an important part of the printed musical heritage of the period.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\" data-start=\"1280\" data-end=\"1763\"\u003eThe designation of Tarz-ı Nevin preserves the modal identity indicated on the original publication, while the longa form places the work within the lively instrumental repertoire of Turkish music. Longas were particularly associated with instrumental performance and provided musicians with opportunities to display technical skill, rhythmic precision and melodic interpretation. The printed notation therefore preserves both the repertoire and the musical terminology of its period.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\" data-start=\"1765\" data-end=\"2173\"\u003ePublished in Istanbul toward the end of the 1910s as No. 494 of the Müntehabat series, this sheet is a notable example of Ottoman Turkish printed instrumental music. Its association with Udi Sedad Bey, the Tarz-ı Nevin makam designation and the Şamlı İskender publishing tradition make it an interesting historical document for collectors of Ottoman sheet music, Turkish classical music and musical ephemera.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(170, 26, 23);\"\u003eKey Features:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\" data-start=\"2190\" data-end=\"2215\" class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchorContainer\"\u003e• Composer: Udi Sedad Bey\u003cspan class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchor\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\" data-start=\"2217\" data-end=\"2230\"\u003e• Work: Longa\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\" data-start=\"2232\" data-end=\"2253\"\u003e• Makam: Tarz-ı Nevin\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\" data-start=\"2255\" data-end=\"2268\"\u003e• Form: Longa\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\" data-start=\"2270\" data-end=\"2313\"\u003e• Publisher: Kudmanizâde Udî Şamlı İskender\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\" data-start=\"2315\" data-end=\"2335\"\u003e• Series: Müntehabat\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\" data-start=\"2337\" data-end=\"2354\"\u003e• Series No.: 494\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\" data-start=\"2356\" data-end=\"2385\"\u003e• Publication Place: Istanbul\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\" data-start=\"2387\" data-end=\"2419\"\u003e• Publication Period: Late 1910s\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\" data-start=\"2421\" data-end=\"2448\"\u003e• Language: Ottoman Turkish\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\" data-start=\"2450\" data-end=\"2503\"\u003e• Genre: Turkish Classical Music \/ Instrumental Music\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\" data-start=\"2505\" data-end=\"2534\"\u003e• Format: Printed Sheet Music\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\" data-start=\"2536\" data-end=\"2625\"\u003e• Subject: Udi Sedad Bey, Longa, Tarz-ı Nevin Makamı and Şamlı İskender Müntehabat Series\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\" data-start=\"2627\" data-end=\"2854\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003e• Collector Appeal: An early 20th-century Ottoman Turkish printed instrumental music publication, No. 494 of the Müntehabat series, documenting a longa by Udi Sedad Bey and the historical publishing tradition of Şamlı İskender.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Turkrex Collectables","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50341073944714,"sku":null,"price":75.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0716\/3687\/7450\/files\/1_d1eac490-7076-472a-b6e2-7cafc205c4b3.jpg?v=1790935391","url":"https:\/\/turkrexcollectables.com\/products\/udi-sedad-bey-longa-ottoman-turkish-1910s-musical-notes-sheet-empire-oud-player","provider":"Turkrex Collectables","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
