However, Turkish music contains the rich aesthetic accumulation of a deep-rooted cultural heritage that extends to the present day. It is inevitable that the aesthetic elements in the maqam, rhythm and melodic structures of Turkish Music works will make significant contributions to both academic studies and performance. In this context, aesthetics and music philosophy especially in the creation processes of musical works have a special importance. Therefore, the study of aesthetic elements in the genres and forms of Turkish Music repertoire emerges as a compulsory field. The value of aesthetics, which is defined as the way of searching for the beautiful, in Turkish Music works is directly proportional to the compositions of the makams and tempos. In the analysis of a musical work, the form that forms the building blocks of the work is very important. Aesthetic questioning on the form should be made through the elements of motif, sentence, clause and section. However, studying all of the aesthetic elements of Turkish Music, which has a very wide repertoire, requires a lot of effort and time. In this article, first of all, aesthetic perception, aesthetic attitude, aesthetic pleasure etc. related to aesthetic theory. By emphasizing the main concepts, the aesthetic elements in the performance of Turkish Music works with the aesthetic questioning method, which is one of the most basic elements of creativity, are studied under the headings by giving examples.
