Description

The reissue of A. V. Zataevich's book "500 Kazakh Songs and Kuis" is a tribute to the memory of the outstanding collector of folk music and to all his co-authors — the great musicians of the steppe and the ordinary performers of songs and kuis. Like "1000 Songs of the Kazakh People", this book stands as a sweeping record of an entire historical period in the musical art of the Kazakh people, and in this alone lies its enduring value. It has itself become an inseparable part of Kazakh culture. The decades that have passed since its first publication have changed much in our understanding of folk and oral-professional creativity. But as the prologue to Kazakh musical folklore studies, A. V. Zataevich's works still lead us today toward an understanding of Kazakh music; as before, the author's musical transcriptions, observations and reflections restore to us the people's original heritage.
