“The teaching of composition must embrace all the ages, all the world. For, what is instructed is not a profession, it is the history of humanity, the history of its mind and heart.”
Fazil Say plays Usmanbaş, 2021
Sad news – Turkish composer İlhan Usmanbaş (23 October 1921–30 January 2025) dies at the age of 103. Fazil Say plays SORUŞTURMA.
Such an accomplished piece…makes you question why some composers never break outside their national boundaries.
