| Note | No biographical information available. | |
| Öztuna does not provide a source for his estimate of Mikâîl Usta’s date of death. However, he lists a peşrev in the makâm şevk-ı cedîd as one of his compositions. (Türk mûsikîsi akademik klasik Türk san'at mûsikîsi'nin ansiklopedik…, TMAS/II, p. 55) | ||
| Similar makâms (e.g. şevkâver, şevkengîz, şevk-ı dil) are mentioned for the first time in Abdülbâkî Nâsır Dede’s treatise Tedḳīḳ ü taḥḳīḳ (AH 1209/CE 1795). (S1242, S1242) | ||
| The only other available composition in şevk-ı cedîd (probably the same piece) is found in TA107, where it is attributed to Nu’mân Ağa (d. after 1830). (TA107, TA107, p. [243] (earlier pagination [pencil]: 241; earlier foliation [blue ink]: f. 121v)) | ||
| The above facts suggest that Mikâîl Usta flourished in the late eighteenth or early nineteenth century. | ||
