 Dimitrie CANTEMIR - A Prince in Two Worlds; by Eugenia Popescu - JUDETS
Cantemir lived in Istanbul between 1688 and 1710 under four sultans in a glamorous period for the Ottoman civilization that matched a New Renaissance transplanted on the banks of the Bosporus.
Cantemir defines his theoretical ideas as the "new theory" in opposition to the "old theory" and by this he envisages a renewed practical theory of the Turkish music evolved from his innovative, progressive ideas, and based upon the experience of the Turkish performers of his time.
Cantemir's approach to the history of the sultans consisted in an original method of paralleling the narratives of historical facts and events with a continuous flow of personal notes, anecdotes and stories, pieces of folklore and legends he had collected from written and live sources and stored them in his astounding memory.

 Golden Horn Records :: CANTEMIR: Music in Istanbul and Ottoman Europe around 1700
While Prince Cantemir’s continuous presence in the orbit of four successive ruling Sultans must have furthered a harmonious relationship between the Ottoman Court and his father, the Moldavian Voivode, Cantemir himself clearly preferred music to politics, and was sufficiently gifted to play his way to fame as the greatest of classical Turkish musicians.
Cantemir’s compositions are typically cast in pesrev or saz semai form, consisting of several sections (hane) with a ritornello (mülâzime or teslim) repeated after each.
The continuing significance of Cantemir as a force in Eurasian composition and performance is shown through recent compositions by Yalçin Tura of Turkey and Lou Harrison of the United States, honoring a remarkable life that continues to resonate.

CANTEMIR honors the amazingly rich life of Prince Dimitrie Cantemir (Kantemiroglu, 1673-1723), born in Moldavia (now Romania) but educated in Istanbul, becoming during his many years at the heart of Ottoman culture a master musician, composer, linguist, and lexicographer.
The juxtaposition with folk material might be justified if Cantemir had drawn on it for his compositions, but that's not the case; we're simply told that the peasants back near Cantemir's home in what is now Romania were playing these dances while Cantemir was off in Constantinople playing his stuff for the sultan.
Cantemir, as might be known, is the first musician/traveler/diplomat (and later a trouble maker) from Romania, who recorded the Ottoman music while he was living in the Ottoman lands for near twenty years.
