Selim III
(December 24, 1761 - July 28/29, 1808) was the Sultan of the Ottoman Empire from 1789 to 1807. He was a son of Mustafa III (1757-74) and succeeded his uncle Abdulhamid I (1774-89). He was born in Constantinople. His mother was Valide Sultan Mihr-i shah.
A great lover of music, Sultan Selim III was a composer and performer of significant talent. He created fourteen makams, melodic types, three of which are in current use today. Sixty-four compositions belonging to Selim III are known, some of which are part of the regular repertory of Turkish classical music performers. Aside from composing music, Selim III also performed on the ney and tanbur.
