Rauf Yekta Bey - Notation System

Notation System

Rauf Yekta introduced a modified European notation in his 1921 Lavignac article. Yekta's system used a variety of accidentals to express the microtonal inflections necessary for the Turkish modal system. This notational system was the one used for the official publications of the Istanbul Conservatory during the 1920's and 1930's.

Famous quotes containing the word system:

    If mothers are to be successful in achieving their child-rearing goals, they must have the inner freedom to find their own value system and within that system to find what is acceptable to them and what is not. This means leaving behind the anxiety, but also the security, of simplistic good-bad formulations and deciding for themselves what they want to teach their children.
    Elaine Heffner (20th century)
