§ A. Adnan Saygun Violin Concerto, Op.44, edited by Selim Giray
"Therefore the new critical edition of Saygun’s violin concerto, Op. 44, published by Peermusic, including a hitherto non-existing piano reduction of the orchestral accompaniment, by the eminent academic and violin professor Dr. Selim Giray and composer Dr. John Ross is a significant contribution to Saygun studies and fills an important gap."

§ A Biography of the Turkish Composer Ahmed Adnan Saygun and a Discussion of his Violin Works
"Giray's study not only provides important information about Saygun's biography but also corrects some misconceptions that have been blindly accepted in the Bartók literature; thus, this is a volume that fills a conspicuous gap in previous scholarship. Giray's writing is professional, scholarly, and effective in communicating its point. Comments anent Saygun's musical compositions are insightful, and the suggestions that Giray offers for interpretation and performance seem reasonable and effective. I should think that anyone performing Saygun's works (whether for the violin or otherwise) would want to consult Giray's study for ideas and information."
