FROM WRITTEN SOURCES ABOUT THE HISTORY OF UZBEK MUSIC

written evidence of Uzbek classical music, as a type and form of music, is first found in a musical treatise by an unknown author of the late 18th century and bayaz. This is only a certain conditional starting point of its documented (written) observable history. In fact, the roots of the emergence of Uzbek classical music, as a phenomenon of music of high philosophical and aesthetic meaning, undoubtedly go back to much earlier times.
