Creating a long path of creativity in her life, D. Amanullaeva will return to the historical
theme several years later. This time, the composer addressed the great commander Amir Temur
and
the dynasty of the Temurids, granting the fantasy pieces “Ulugbek’s Stars” and “Amir
Temur’s Dream” their own distinct genre and structural style. The name of the program, for these
pieces, itself calls us into the distant past. As a listener, you are conscious of time and space. In
these works of impressionism, the author draws her attention and efforts directly to the portrayal
of key figures and their actions.
“Ulugbek’s Stars” has its own charm and magnetism with its rich and mysterious melodies. In this
fantasy, the composer illustrates the thoughts of the great astronomer and statesman Ulugbek, his
research in astronomy, the quiet of the night, and the sky full of countless
stars with contrasting
themes. The heavy chords represent the great astronomer’s scientific pursuits, his star-study processes,
and the spectacular view of the sky, filled with chords of arpeggio passages, harmonic tones, and
colorful stars.
In the "Amir Temur’s Dream" fantasy, the listener imbues the image of a moderate, authoritative
ruler- the founder of the Temurid empire. At the same time, the author describes all of the qualities of
a great commander through the musical melodies – pride, courage,
determination, and enthusiasm.
Amir Temur's love and devotion toward his beloved wife, Bibi Khanym, is represented in the delicate
curtains of the instrument. The composer takes full advantage of the possibilities of the piano in
expressing the melodic figures in her pieces. The self-control and respect of her protagonist (i.e., Amir
Temur) is conveyed in bass tones of the lower case register. The intensity of the themes and internal
contradictions are demonstrated through intense movement in the middle and upper registers, the
unstable harmony, sometimes the chord and sometimes the archetypal contrast at the intervals of the
melody, characteristic of the figure represented in the piece. The use of the registers reveals the drama
in the work, representing the entire idea behind the program.
Analyzing the piano pieces created by Dilorom Amanullaeva, we can see that Amir Temur and his
kingdom are in the limelight. Every image and figure in her work is displayed in distinct colors based
on the composer’s perception of them, serving a significant artistic role. In these plays, expressed in
the style of impressionism, the author was able to expose the inner world of her selected figures and
images. As a result of the composer's use of the piano's wide range of musical capacity, the
compositions stand apart. Her work’s impact on her listeners
serves as evidence Dilorom
Amanullaeva's talent and contribution to music.
To play the musical pieces “Bibi-Khanym”, “Ulugbek’s Stars”, and “Amir Temur’s Dream”
requires strong musical skills and abilities. The composer's works, based on their musical form, are to
be performed according to the perception of the performer, “requiring the pianist to think creatively,
to improvise, to perform freely and to fantasize. The most important and defining factor in the
successful interpretation of modern music is a comprehension of the new means of composition-- the
various recording techniques of contemporary music” [1, 78].
In performing the fantasy pieces,
it is important to learn, first of all, the distinctiveness of the
chosen image, the understanding of the historical period, and the methodological
approach of the
composer. It is also important that the performer use the techniques commonly used in professional
practice to accurately and most professionally play the passages contained in the works. Application of
the most common professional practices in music should help to articulate the key themes that resonate
between the chord and arpeggio layers along with the contrasting range of the registers. “… It is not
easy to express the national identity that is easily felt when listening to piano music. The combination
of texture and registry drama of Uzbek composers in combination with the features of timbre paint can
enrich the pianist's performance with unique colors” [2, 104].
Among the piano performances of Uzbekistan, D. Amanullaeva's works are at the forefront. These
works are worthy of the conservatory's educational and concert repertoire, and influence young
musicians to become successful performers and masters in their professions.
