Javanshir Guliyev

The diploma work was "First Symphony" for a large symphony orchestra. While still a student, C. Guliyev started experiments in composition. In the "First Quartet" he wrote while studying in the 2nd year, he succeeded in creating a new style of music by synthesizing national music, which is the main creative principle in the future, with modern compositional techniques. The work was received with great interest by the listeners, it was liked and for a long time it was the cause of creative debates in terms of "nationality and modernity". It was played at a number of inter-conservatory conferences, at the then Union of Composers of the USSR (Moscow), and aroused great interest. Later, a number of other works composed by J. Guliyev in this style were performed in various countries of Europe and America and received great appreciation.
