Brief description: Being a well-known
scientist, teacher,
bright publicist and playwright, Uzeir Hajibeyov
is a
classic of the Azerbaijan music, with whose name
foundation and formation of the national
composer school is connected. Consisting both of
the personal belongings and exhibits telling
about
Hajibeyov's creative work, the museum exposition
acquaints the visitors with the brightest pages
of
life and creative work of the composer. Here
everything is kept in its original place, where
it used to
be during his lifetime. The score of the
unfinished
"Azerbaijan" symphonic poem is still lying on
his writing-table. The
exposition tells about composer's works
beginning with "Leili and
Majnun", which is considered to be the first
opera in the Middle East, up
to classic "Ker-Oghlu". Important documents and
state awards of the
composer are displaying in the museum exposition
as well.
