Özet:

During the transition from homophonic music to polyphonic music under the reform efforts of Ottoman Empire in the 19th century so many virtuoso musicians was invited to Ottoman Empire for giving concerts. Leopold de Meyer (1816- 1883), Eugene Leon Vivier (1817-1900), Henri Vieuxtemps (1820-1881) were one of the virtuosos like Franz Liszt (1811-1886). Franz Liszt came to Ottoman Empire in 1847 and spent five weeks there. He gave concerts at Istanbul. Alan Walker who wrote biography about Liszt said that “It looks like Liszt disappeared without a trace” because even if he spent weeks at Ottoman Empire there is not much information about this journey. In this research, the time that Franz Liszt spent in Ottoman Empire was examined with a historical description and an effort was made to reflect this period. As such, the intercultural interaction and the contributions of this period to Music Culture in Ottoman Empire were examined.
