ANALYSIS OF SAIM AKÇIL’S VARIATIONS AND INSPIRATIONS ON AN OLD ISTANBUL FOLK SONG (ÜSKÜDAR)

Öz

Variations and Breezes on an Old Istanbul Folk Song (Üsküdar) written for solo violin in line with Saim Akçıl's contributions to Turkish violin music as a conductor, violinist and composer, this study aims to examine the variation form techniques and violin performance characteristics. The research is an example of a case study from qualitative research methods. Based on the different variation examples made by Turkish composers for the folk song Katibim (Üsküdar’a Gider iken), the study work was determined by criterion sampling method, one of the purposeful sampling methods. Based on the theme of a folk song, among the pieces created with the variation technique, the ones written for solo violin were determined as criteria. In this respect, the development of the variation form in the historical process and Saim Akçıl’s contributions to the Turkish violin ecole were presented, and a descriptive analysis of the artist’s Variations and Inspirations on an Old Istanbul Folk Song (Üsküdar) was made. The work was analyzed in two stages: variation form characteristics and violin techniques. As a result, it has been observed that the variations in this piece, which is written in the type of fragmentary variation, form a multi-layered texture that combines thematic exploration and technical skill through a virtuosic performance with characteristic, figural and melodic variation types.
