Piano music by Kazakh composers at the turn of the century

Abstract

The compositional development of the composers of Kazakhstan is actively developing. At the same time, it should be emphasized that the initial stage of the formation of an independent state (early 1990's) for objective reasons negatively affected the creative activity of the Union of Composers of Kazakhstan. Teachers of the Almaty State Conservatory named after Kurmangazy (Kazakh National Conservatory) played a huge role in preserving and increasing the piano repertoire of the Republic in this difficult period for the country. At present, the Union of Composers of Kazakhstan, along with the Kazakh National Conservatory named after Kurmangazy, continued publishing and promoting modern Russian piano literature, together with the teachers of the Kazakh National University of Arts, as well as the Kazakh National Academy of Arts named after T. Zhurgenov.
