Art/Literary - Music / Vocab Item | | Turkish term or phrase: es | Greetings,
In the Turkish language there is a word “es” taken from the name of the letter S. According to my dictionary, “es” means “rest”, but I can't track this term down to anything in actual musical notation.
Most people seem to be familiar with this “es” from the expression “es geçmek”, which seems to mean “not to pay attention to something”.
Can you help, please? Is a letter S or something similar used to signify a rest in the playing of Turkish classical music, for instance?
All the best, and many thanks,
Simon |
