Violoncello performance in Turkish and western music

It can be seen that the Violoncello, which is accepted among Classical Turkish Music Stringed Instruments nowadays, is a musical instrument of Western origin, as seen in the examination of its historical process. In order to examine the historical development of the Violoncello, first of all it is necessary to look at the history of the stringed instruments. The string instruments violin, viola, violoncello, contrabass used today are accepted to originate from the viols known as the family of string instruments that emerged in Europe in the 15th century. Due to the confusion arising from the use of many names for the violoncello and the visible deformations in the source images made during the first years of the violoncello, the history of the violoncello has been reached exactly in the near future. The features that distinguish violoncello from other stringed instruments are its sound field, its clef use, its difference of interpretation, and its partition in the orchestrations. The violoncello, which exists in Turkish Music with its unique attitude and tone and also has a sad and lyrical sound structure, continues to have the characteristic of being a stringed instrument that should be overemphasized at the same time. The fact that any books and articles about the violoncello and its comparative performance technique in Turkish music and in Western Music have been written scarcely any, has led us to work on this subject. In our study, the structural and technical characteristics of the violoncello were discussed, the techniques used in its performance were excluded, the comparison of the violoncello performance techniques and the study usage differences in two cultural music were investigated.
