This book delves into the rich musical traditions of the Eastern European and Balkan Danube regions, shaped by Ottoman influences. However, to capture the essence of a complete journey, it extends all the way to the river’s source in Donaueschingen, Germany.
​
More than just a collection, this book is an educational and inspirational resource for musicians—both amateur and professional—who wish to explore the alternative musical heritage of the Danube.
