Answer to Question 1

 . . . tradition was left on its own, to wax and wane according to circumstance.
 Europeans studied and documented Arab musical practices (e.g., Napoleon Bonaparte sent a team of researchers to Egypt, among them M. Villoteau who included plates of musical instruments and an account of musical life there in his Description de L'Egypt 1823.)

Answer to Question 2

 The Ottoman Turks left a musical legacy that is still the basis for the classical tradition, particularly in near-by Arab countries (Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, Palestine, and Egypt).
 developments in musical from and style, the theory and practice of musical modes and rhythms, the art of improvisation (taqasim), adaptation of Western musical notation, and developments of modern instruments influenced music throughout Maghrib (Arab countries in Western North Africa) and the Mashriq (the eastern Arab worldsee also definition of Maghrib and Mashriq WOM p. 502)
