Abstract
Chapter 1 brings to life a vast history of institutional reforms, politics, and performance practices that were affected by, and also facilitated, massive political changes from the seventeenth century of the Ottoman Empire to the founding of the Turkish Republic in 1923 through the various coups in Turkey (1960, 1971, 1981, and 1997, and the 2016 coup attempt) and contemporary shifts experienced by Turkish classical musicians under privatization and neoliberalism. The chapter argues that one of the most central binding elements of the genre “Turkish classical music” is a loss narrative which that tells the story of roots that have been cut and positions the music as dead.
