Bestecilerin Kendi Eserlerinden Yaptıkları Gitar Transkripsiyonlarının İncelenmesi

Abstract

In this study, the guitar transcriptions made by the composers themselves, which are rare in guitar literature, were examined. The instances selected from such works were discussed in the concept of fundamental principles of transcription and the extent to which those principles apply to these instances, was evaluated. In this context, all of the works that the scores of which can be reached, were taken into consideration. As a result, three works that belong to different composers, were examined. By making measure-level comparisons of the original versions and the guitar transcriptions of these works, their melodic, harmonic and rhythmic differences were determined. With the guidance of the data obtained, interpretations were made on the degree that the composers remain consistent with their original works. In the end, the results obtained from the study were summarized in a general perspective, along with the explanations of the results obtained in terms of the goals of the study and suggestions that will shed light on future research.
