According to critics, the Republic of Turkey has faced to the West due to the “nationalist ideological” policies pursued and has become alienated from its own culture. Towards the principles of the music reform, the Turkish Art Music belonging to the Ottoman was abandoned and the compilation of Turkish folk songs and their arrangement in Western technique constitute the reason for this alienation. However, this alienation manifests itself as a cultural reflection of the Western-elitist ideology. Critics claim that everything that belongs to the music revolution, in terms of its ideological nature, also entails a number of negative consequences. \u0000The aim of this study is to make a philosophical analysis of the concept of ideology, to object to the criticisms that base the music reform on ideological foundations, and to suggest that the music reform consists of idealistic principles, not ideological ones. Therefore, in opposition to the view that the music reforms of the Republic are alienated from their own culture in terms of being “ideological”, the claim has been put forward that they are based on their own self-culture in terms of being “idealistic”.","PeriodicalId":36229,"journal":{"name":"Rast Muzikoloji Dergisi","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49568827","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

English dominates the international music. The two most powerful countries in the world, the USA and the UK are the bases of the music industry. There is over one billion people who speak English worldwide. It is no surprise that the English language is used as a base for music by so many musicians. This work’s main objective is to find out the Albanian musicians’ English language proficiency level as well as gain knowledge about the importance of being an English-speaking musician. The present study delves further into examining the internationalization of Albanian songs from the viewpoints of musicians in Kosovo and investigating whether the Albanian songs would have a different impact or would be more successful if translated and sung into the English language. Last but not least, the researchers are also interested in discovering if there is any difference between Albanian and English languages in terms of songs and singing. To go deep into the understanding and the perception of the issue and answer our research questions, a descriptive qualitative approach was used. To collect the data, semi-structured interviews with open-ended questions were conducted. Ten (10) Kosovar musicians who have a lot of knowledge on the issues participated in this study and thus provided us the necessary information. The results of this research correspond with the theoretical framework. The results obtained from the data analysis reveal that Kosovar musicians are proficient in English which is considered very advantageous since performing in English can help musicians build an international music career. It is also indicated that an Albanian song can also be an international success without the need to translate it into English since music is a universal language, musical notes sound the same in all languages around the world, they are written the same, they have the same position. Thus, the melody sounds the same in every language of the world and this is the beauty of music.","PeriodicalId":36229,"journal":{"name":"Rast Muzikoloji Dergisi","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47651729","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It can be advantageous for practitioners and educators seeking careers in the trombone field to have in-depth knowledge of modern solo trombone work. Other classical instruments, the repertoire spans the centuries and can be found in almost every musical period. However, the fact that the trombone was added to the orchestra after the other instruments and was not seen as a solo instrument until recently increases the interest in the works written after the 20th century. While the trombone repertoire had few solo works until the twentieth century, its use as a solo instrument has increased since the 20th century and many works have been written by composers. In the second half of the twentieth century, there was a change of direction in the trombone repertoire and performance practices, as will be explained in the following sections. With the development of technology, composers who pushed the limits of the trombone increased and new possibilities emerged that could be applied on the instrument.
