Hidden in the composer’s archives is a series of little music-manuscript notebooks, a bit battered, as if they had been in and out of Prokofiev’s pockets. These he carried around with him, jotting down musical ideas as and when they occurred to him. The contents of such notebooks can reveal quite special aspects of their creator, exposing facets of the imagination which may well lie below the threshold of even that creator’s consciousness. Are the themes notated boldly in ink or tentatively in pencil? How important are indications of tempo or dynamics in comparison with pitches, meters, rhythms, or key signatures? What kind of second thoughts appeared at this early stage? Above all, what are the characteristics that make these themes so distinctively, unmistakably Prokofiev? This study of his thematic sketches opens up entirely new insights into the way he thought, what his compositional priorities were, and how he expressed himself to himself.

Abstract Examining the Soest conductus fragments, of which five single leaves have so far been rediscovered, this article analyses the different layers of use and reuse that can be deduced. First, a detailed account of the circumstances under which these manuscript fragments travelled with (or without) their respective host volumes is given. The music manuscript must have been discarded by the fifteenth century, as a bookbinder from the Dominican convent of Soest in Westphalia reused various leaves of it in a series of autographs written by Jacob of Soest, who died in 1438. After the dissolution of the convent’s library in the course of nineteenth-century secularization, further contexts of reuse and dismemberment pertaining to the fragments can be demonstrated. Secondly, the remnants of the original music manuscript are analysed. The use of the two-part conductus O crux ave spes unica (H4) as the opening piece of a fascicle can be connected to the dedication of the Soest Dominican house to the Holy Cross. In comparison to other fragmentary sources that made their way to the German-speaking area, as well as the long-known codices F, W1, and W2, the Soest music manuscript seems closest to W2. While, however, these two codices show significant parallels in terms of mise-en-page and copying process, the choice of repertory might have deliberately differed. This points to production in the same workshop, but for different commissioners.

Musical forms in Turkish music edwares give us important clues in terms of reflecting the musical culture of the period. It is possible to see many other musical forms such as Nevbet-ı muretteb, gazel, amel, pışrev, savt and nakış in their music manuscript. Some forms of music have survived to the present day, while some have undergone both name and structural changes, while others have completely lost their existence. It is aimed to reveal whether the three musical forms such as küld- durub, kül’n-nağam and kül nn-nagam and ’d-durub, which exist in the manuscripts, exist today and have undergone changes. In the qualitative study, retrospective research model was used together with literature review. The forms include twelve makams such as uşşak, rast, hüseyni, hicazi, and makams and procedural findings that vary according to forms such as remel-i asl, hafif, sakil-i evvel. At the same time, some conclusions have been reached such that some of these three forms of music have not survived to the present day, and some of them have experienced interactions with different dynamics performed today and are the basis for the form of kar-ı natık and saz semai by its structure.
