YEREVAN, MARCH 16, ARMENPRESS. A special site has been created in
Turkey through which the Ottoman music archive - preserved due to
Armenian musician Hambardzum Limonchyan - will be introduced to the
public. As "Armenpress" reports Turkish newspaper "Zaman" informs
about that.
The newspaper points out that the application of notes in Turkish
music started in the 19th century during the period of reign of sultan
Selim III. Due to Sultan Selim's wish Armenian composer and musician
Hambardzum Limonchyan from Constantinople discovered a type of musical
notation which received the name "Hambardzum's Music Notation" in
Turkey.
Among other things the Turkish newspaper stated: "Due to that musical
notation applied in Turkey in the 19th century it was possible to
prevent the loss of numerous musical works created in two centuries in
Turkey. The majority of those works were kept in archives for a long
while. Now lots of works recorded in "Hambardzum's Music Notation"
will be accessible for the Turkish public due to the newly created
site."
