FUNDAMENTALS OF STATUS

Abstract

There are six maqoms – “Shashmaqom”, which is a strong, indestructible foundation of Uzbek classical music. Although Shashmaqom was not fully formed until the 18th century, it is natural that the process of its formation began much earlier. Twelve maqoms – “Duvozdahmaqom” series are more perfect, and six maqoms series – “Shashmaqom” played a decisive role in the formation. Twelve maqoms lived in the culture of the peoples of Central Asia in the XI-XVII centuries, while in the XVIII and especially in the XX century Shashmaqom spread throughout Uzbekistan and brotherly Tajikistan and has six perfect maqoms – “Shashmaqom”.
