This
third volume of musical transcriptions rounds off the presentation of 600
versions of Greek instrumental tunes from the islands and mainland of Greece,
Cyprus, Asia Minor, the coastal regions of the Sea of Marmara, the Pontus, and the
Azov Sea, and Southern Italy. The sound recordings used as sources for the
transcriptions include old recordings held in archives as well as gramophone
records. Accordingly, what is achieved when transcribing these recordings as a musical
score is the overall depiction of the musical style of older generations of
performers, besides the personal style of individual musicians. This enables
the presentation of the diversity as well as the similarities that can be found
across the various geographical and cultural spaces covered in this volume. The
material presented herein can be used for analyzing various musical parameters
(modality, rhythmical structure, form, style, and so on), exploring historical
developments and social changes, and teaching specific musical instruments.
