Instrumental compositions attributed to ‘ʿArabzāde’ in manuscript sources are usually
ascribed to Abdurrahmân Bâhir Efendi (1689–1746) in the secondary literature (e.g. TMAS/I, p.
13). However, on the basis of his biographical information, Arabzâde Alî Dede is more likely
to have composed these instrumental works. See (Türkiye Diyanet Vakfı İslâm Ansiklopedisi,
İA2/II, pp. 385–6) |
