Music publications from Ottoman Empire up today, 1876-1986.= Osmanli Imparatorlugu'ndan günümüze belgelerle müzik (nota) yayinciligi, 1876-1986. "Publications of music is an enlightened part of our history of music. The subject was not considered as a whole, various important writings appeared on magazines stayed scattered, and the dpcuments were not collected. This book is the first step taken on this subject. The publication houses which mostly cannot be remembered in our days our presented for interests in this book depending on the notescores and other documents. And so, the untrue argument stating that the first publications of Turkish music were realized by the minorities is falsified and the line of progress of the Turkish music publications which began with Haci Emin Efendi in 1876, is put together the first time according to the documents, in chronological order.". This is still the best reference for not only history of Turkish / Ottoman classical music publications, but also collectible sheet musics.
