In this study, the aim is to give information about the reciprocal taksim, which is a type of the taksim form, which has an important place in both religious and non-religious music forms, and to examine the reciprocal taksims of Kanuni Erol Deran and Neyzen Aka Gündüz Kutbay, whose performances in the taksim form serve as examples for many musicians in the makam Segâh. For the study, which also includes different exambiples of the reciprocal taksim form, the Segâh reciprocal taksim of Erol Deran and Aka Gündüz Kutbay was notated and analysed. By analysing the form and makam understanding in the taksim, it was aimed to obtain a general idea about the performance of the reciprocal taksim. In the study, which is a qualitative research in which data collection methods such as observation and document analysis were used, the general survey model was used. After giving information about the place and types of taksim in Turkish music forms, the subject of reciprocal taksim was elaborated and some sample performances of this type of taksim were shared. A brief biography about Erol Deran and Aka Gündüz Kutbay is given and a link to the performance recording of the Segâh reciprocal taksim is given. This performance was notated and evaluations were made on issues such as form, makam and duration usage in melodic sentences. When the related literature was examined, it was seen that studies such as taksim or work analyses were conducted, but no study was conducted specifically on the reciprocal taksim. In this respect, it is thought that the study will shed light on future studies and make an important contribution to the literature.
