Among the articles in TMQ, you will find a long-running series of reports on Turkish music by foreigners, from 1433 (!) to 1813, including the report (1751) of the world's first ethnomusicologist, Charles Fonton. Unpublished elsewhere, Robert Martin's compiling and translating of these reports is a major contribution to Turkish music studies.

Other TMQ contributors include Cem Behar, Bayram Bilge Toker, Walter Feldman, Bülent Aksoy, Cinuçen Tanrıkorur, Alma Kunanbayeva, Dane Kusić, Yetkin Özer, Feza Tansuğ, Edwin Seroussi, Anthony Tammer, and Gultekin Shamilly.
