Abstract

This article traces the historical and intellectual origins of modern Turkish music theory in the late Ottoman period. It examines debates about music theory in the Ottoman Turkish press during the 1880s and 1890s, focusing particularly on the earliest publications of Raʾūf Yektā (1288–1353/1871–1935). The article shows how the modern Turkish theory of pitch was created by Yektā and his collaborators through the rediscovery of Arabic and Persian treatises associated with the Systematist school of mathematical music theory, which flourished between the seventh/thirteenth and ninth/fifteenth centuries. It argues that this project to bring Ottoman music into the modern “age of progress” was shaped by the ideals of both scientific positivism and Islamic modernism.

衡量进步：奥斯曼帝国对系统主义音乐理论的复兴，约1900年

本文追溯了奥斯曼帝国晚期现代土耳其音乐理论的历史和知识起源。它考察了19世纪80年代和90年代奥斯曼土耳其媒体中关于音乐理论的辩论，特别关注Ra - ūf Yektā(1288-1353/1871-1935)的最早出版物。这篇文章展示了yektha和他的合作者如何通过重新发现与系统主义数学音乐理论学派相关的阿拉伯和波斯论文，创造了现代土耳其的音高理论。系统主义数学音乐理论学派在7 / 13世纪和9 / 15世纪之间蓬勃发展。它认为，这个将奥斯曼音乐带入现代“进步时代”的项目是由科学实证主义和伊斯兰现代主义的理想所塑造的。

期刊介绍： Oriens is dedicated to extending our knowledge of intellectual history and developments in the rationalist disciplines in Islamic civilization, with a special emphasis on philosophy, theology, and science. These disciplines had a profoundly rich and lasting life in Islamic civilization and often interacted in complex ways--from the period of their introduction to Islamic civilization in the translation movement that began in the eighth century, through the early and classical periods of development, to the post-classical age, when they shaped even such disciplines as legal theory and poetics. The journal''s range extends from the early and classical to the early modern periods (ca. 700-1900 CE) and it engages all regions and languages of Islamic civilization. In the tradition of Hellmut Ritter, who founded Oriens in 1948, the central focus of interest of the journal is on the medieval and early modern periods of the Near and Middle East. Within this framework, the opening up of the sources and the pursuit of philological and historical research based on original source material is the main concern of its editors and contributors. In addition to individual articles, Oriens welcomes proposals for thematic volumes within the series.
