The Development of Uzbek National and International Composition

This paper examines the development of Uzbek national and international composition, focusing on its historical evolution, stylistic transformation, and integration into global musical culture. Uzbek composition has developed through a synthesis of traditional folk music heritage and professional academic music traditions. From ancient oral musical practices and maqom traditions to modern symphonic and operatic works, Uzbek composers have contributed significantly to both national identity and international musical discourse.
