The monograph will include a brief discussion of the history of Kazakhstan, a historical background of folk music and its importance to the development of violin performance in Kazakhstan, a discussion of Kazakh folk strings instruments in relation to violin performance in Kazakhstan, and discussion of selected violin works by Kazakh composers with strong folk influences. A catalogue of violin works of Kazakhstan that use folkloric material will be provided as well. In my study I will rely on available sources, including books, articles, dissertations, reviews, recordings, visual materials and musical scores. I hope my monograph will help to introduce, promote and give a better understanding of Kazakh violin repertoire to English-speaking scholars and musicians.84 pagesengIN COPYRIGHT- This Rights Statement can be used for an Item that is in copyright.
