HISTORY OF THEORETICAL DEVELOPMENT OF UZBEK MUSIC AND THE IMPORTANCE OF ITS TEACHING

Abstract

The study of the rich musical heritage, its unique tradition and the views of scholars who grew up on this land, the enrichment of new qualities and their introduction into consumption is one of the most pressing issues in the current development of our society, the process of spiritual growth, the restoration of traditions and values.

The issues raised in Uzbek music treatises are close to modern elementary music theory. But they also have issues related to the practical aspects of the East peoples’ music in the past, which is not the case in modern music theory. Medieval scholars have increasingly defended maqam music in solving problems of music theory. In doing so, they analyzed in the example of the sound section (tones, halftones, and quarter tones) in maqam.
