Real story, a couple of years ago my mother was listening to Borodin’s “Polovtsian Dances” and I heard it for the first time and told her that its melody reminded me of Anatolian Turkish folk songs. And lo and behold, “Polovtsian” meant Kipchaks and Cumans who are Turkic people. So there is clearly a continuation between Turkic folkloric melodies.
I am not trying to make an ideological point, I find this genuinely culturally fascinating.
