|a The opinion that has been formed of the Turkish music by different people, has been very various. Some have represented it as harsh, unskilful, and disagreeable; while others, on the contrary have asserted that it is pleasing, and possesses a strong power over the passions, especially when accompanied with their engaging style of dancing. One author has preferred it to the Italian. -- This difference of opinion may be accounted for; because the Turkish military music forms a combination of the most discordant sounds, while that used within the houses is excessively soft, and has a melancholy expression, by which the Turks are much affected. Their music, however, is generally performed in unison, and their instruments consist of a violin with three strings, a viol d`amour, a flute still softer than the German, a sort of tabor and Pan’s pipe, and a mandolin strung with wire, having a very long handle. The Italian music has however, been a little introduced lately. -- This portrait represents one of the Grand Signior’s Band in his usual habit. He is in the act of playing upon a mandolin, something similar to the modem lyre or Spanish guitar, though it has fewer strings than the latter, and a much longer neck than either. -- Costume of Turkey (Dalvimart, Octavian.
