So difficult to find music written by this composer. Even to purchase.

Hi piano friends!

Does anyone have the music scores of the Ten Sketches on Aksak Rhythm op 58 by Turkish composer Adnan Saygun?

Thanks!

Welcome kandemirb. Thank you for the Alnar pieces. Most interesting and unusual as there isn't much Turkish piano music. It appears that we have the Turkish Makam system here and certainly sounds strange to my Western ears. I find it at most interesting attempt to render it for the piano.

Thank you for this unusual music.

Here are another two contributions. I haven't played these yet but they've been lying in my library for quite a lot time. Some of them look pretty promising, may record one or two some day.
