Ahmed Adnan Saygun - Performer´s edition of Partita for solo cello Op.31

The Partita for solo cello op.31 was composed in 1955 by Turkish composer Ahmed Adnan Saygun and performed in the same year by cellist Martin Bochmann in Ankara. According to my research there is only one existing edition by Peermusic of the Partita. I took on the challenge of creating my own performer's edition after starting practicing the partita and facing some limitations in the existing edition. In this thesis, I compare the only existing edition by Peermusic and the manuscript taken from Deniz Doğangün’s Proficiency in Art’s thesis. As a cellist, I synthesized these two scores with my own perspective. The performer’s edition includes new suggested fingerings and bowings, and a few practicing methods for selected parts. I believe that this performer’s edition will expand the possibilities and give other perspectives to the other cellists who are going to perform or study this work
