Click for "TCMS Musical Note Archive"

( NOTE : This archive, which is started with 266 note sorted by name, is regularly updated. Thanks to Mehmet Reşat Önal ...)

All musical notes in this archive was written appropriately to their original source by Mehmet Reşat Önal who is one of TSMC's first graduates. FINALE Software was used in the writing process. References were added below to each musical note.

This archive will be expanded by adding new musical notes. Please report mistakes. In this case, the reported notes will be corrected and republished.

Mr. Önal states that :

I have been writing musical notes since 1963. In 1967, I wrote the first musical note of TCMS. Those years, we used to use tracing paper and copy it by blueprint. The first musical note, that I wrote for TSMC, is "Endülüs'te Raks (Dance in Al-Andalus)". When I analyze that note today, I can see many mistakes. However, time brings new solutions to this issue. Today, I use Finale Software for musical note writing. Great visual results can be obtained by this way. In addition, musical notes can be listened.
My archive has increased so fast since that time. It became a very extensive archive with my old Turkish Notes, books left from my grandpa and father. With the other sources including TRT notes, 30 000 musical notes is available in my archive.

I examine all sources in process of note writing. I write only the most correct one. Lastly, I wrote the musical notes which will be included in new book of Erol Sayan. He is examining that notes. Moreover, I wrote musical notes of Erol Sayan's all compositions included TRT repertory.

I always reexamine my notes including mistakes and correct them.

Sincerely

Mehmet Reşat ÖNAL
