(Four Cities)- Faz?l Say's Four Cities Sonata can be considered as a journey through four cities of Anatolia. This work has taken its inspiration from Faz?l Say's memories and events of his life. Bodrum is well known as a city greatly frequented by tourists which sets it apart from the other three locations.

These works are popular for service voluntaries.Twentieth century composer and educator George Dyson was a writer of ambitious and critically well-received works that due to their unfashionably accessible late Romantic style were allowed to languish and are now in the process of reassessment and renewed performance.
