Abstract:

Peşrev form is the major form that is used to teach maqam and performance style in Turkish music. The pieces in the form of Peşrev are pieces that give information about the structure of the relevant maqam and maqam transitions. Using a teaching method based solely on the performance of the pieces does not provide the learning of transition skill and technical mastery in terms of performance within Turkish music in general and Turkish music violin education in particular. Considering the lack of materials available for Turkish music violin education, it is of great importance to create studies that will provide technical mastery with the maqam transition skills. This research aims to identify the transition, taste, âgâz (starting pitch), use of mid-pitch, and pitch range of the  Peşrevs composed in Rast and Uşşak maqams; To determine the similarities and differences between the findings obtained as a result of the analysis peşrevs and the maqam descriptions in nazariyat (Turkish music theory) literature created in the 19th and 20th century;  accordingly, to create studies for Rast and Uşşak maqams that will improve technical skills and maqam transition skills in Turkish music violin education. In this research, a qualitative method was adopted, and the scanning model was used.   The data of the research were collected using document review, literature review, and archive scanning techniques. Based on the findings obtained, two studies have been created for each of the Rast and Uşşak maqams. The first set of studies include transition/taste use, basic rhythm patterns, basic bow techniques (Legato, Detache, Staccato), and ornamentation (Impact, Glissando, Mordan, Trill), while the second set of studies include different rhythm patterns and III. and IV. position shifting as well as basic bow techniques (Legato, Detache, Staccato) and ornamentation (Impact, Glissando, Mordan, Trill) in order to gain and/or increase technical mastery of Turkish music violin performance.
