Ramazanov, a representative of the modern school of the composition of Azerbaijan, and the study of general creative features associated with it. The presented article for the first time scientifically analyzes the symphonic works of R. Ramazanov, which are important in his work but have not been studied so far.
Conclusions. A comprehensive analysis of Ramazanov’s symphonic works in the presented article allows one to draw important conclusions about the features of the composer’s creative style. It was noted that the richness and deep content of the musical language of the bright and individual symphonic works created by Ramazanov, one of the modern Azerbaijani composers distinguished by his original creative style, in various years of his creative life are important in our national music art.
It was noted that the composer’s insistence and seriousness towards himself are also felt like his works. From this point of view, Ramazanov’s symphonic music and modern writing techniques with rich images were chosen from his contemporaries and recognized in our music society and were welcomed not only in his homeland but also far beyond its borders. It should be noted that several of Ramazanov’s works have been successfully performed not only in his native Azerbaijan but also in Turkey, England, Norway, Israel, Canada, Georgia, and other countries.
Ramazanov is currently experiencing a period of growth in his creativity, enriching our professional music art by creating new modern works.
