{"product_id":"ottoman-tanbr","title":"Ottoman Tanbr","description":"\u003ci\u003eThe Ottoman Tanbûr \u003c\/i\u003eprovides a  detailed study of the history of this long-necked lute-like instrument, its role in Ottoman music, construction and playing technique.\u003ci\u003e Tanbûrs\u003c\/i\u003e are played in the art, Sûfî, and folk musical traditions along the Silk Road and beyond. In Turkey, the name \u003ci\u003etanbûr\u003c\/i\u003e is mainly used as a name for the long-necked \u003ci\u003etanbûr\u003c\/i\u003e of Ottoman art music, the Ottoman \u003ci\u003etanbûr\u003c\/i\u003e. The origin and early development of the Ottoman \u003ci\u003etanbûr\u003c\/i\u003e is, notwithstanding its importance, still not fully understood due to the absence or scarcity of literary and iconographical sources, while well-preserved Ottoman \u003ci\u003etanbûrs\u003c\/i\u003e are rare or non-existent. The book explores the political and cultural-historical conditions that contributed to the development of a distinct Ottoman Art music \u003ci\u003e(Osmanlı san’at mûsîkîsi)\u003c\/i\u003e in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries and the central place given to the \u003ci\u003etanbûr\u003c\/i\u003e. Thereafter, Ottoman art music and the Ottoman \u003ci\u003etanbûr\u003c\/i\u003e suffered from official neglect until the end of the Ottoman Empire in 1918 and even rejection after the establishment of the Republic of Turkey in 1923. This situation changed after the foundation of the first Turkish music conservatory in 1975 at the Istanbul Teknik Üniversitesi (ITÜ). The revival of Ottoman art music since the 1990s resulted in a rehabilitation of Ottoman art music and of the Ottoman \u003ci\u003etanbûr\u003c\/i\u003e whose days had seemed to be numbered.","brand":"MediaPlace","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57309803413886,"sku":"NW9781803271064","price":32.85,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1379\/1261\/files\/9781803271064.jpg?v=1778580272","url":"https:\/\/mediaplace.com\/products\/ottoman-tanbr","provider":"MediaPlace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
