+  abstract: This project involves digitizing audio cassette recordings gathered by
+    retired NYU Abu Dhabi Professor Walter Feldman during research for his book, Music
+    of the Ottoman Court (1996, repr. 2024). Dr. Feldman is the leading authority
+    on Turkish classical music, and his book is the standard work on the subject.
+    Dr. Feldman’s recordings include never-before-heard audio materials—lessons, private
+    concerts, and public performances— featuring prominent Turkish classical musicians
+    Necdet Yasar, Niyazi Sayin, Ihsan Özgen, and others. Digitizing this collection
+    is crucial for preservation of this music and to make it accessible to a wider
+    audience. This project emphasizes the intercultural connections between Greeks,
+    Turks, Armenians, Romanians, Hungarians, Arabs, and Sephardic Jews within the
+    Ottoman Empire. The project will transfer these recordings to a digital format
+    and exhibit them on a publicly accessible website, accompanied by detailed cataloging
+    and metadata creation to facilitate research and exploration. By making these
+    recordings available, this initiative not only preserves a crucial part of musical
+    history but also celebrates the complex tapestry of relationships that characterizes
+    the music of the Ottoman court and its enduring legacy in shaping the cultural
+    identities of the region.
