KAZAKH ELITE AND MUSIC (1920-1930)

The article discusses specific period in development of the Kazakh music in the XX centuryand the tasks of its adequate scientific interpretation. In the new development of the stage of the 1920s-1930s.the formulation of a complex of historical and theoretical problems is proposed, which corresponds to themodern level of musicology and related disciplines. This approach is aimed at filling the “white spots” in theculture of Kazakhstan, which are still numerous. In this context, exploring the selfless activity of the nationalintelligentsia of that time, who made special contribution to the preservation of traditional art, is relevant. Thecreative figures of musicians-performers, including eminent and, for some reasons, unknown ones in broadand professional circles, will be shown not only through various components of their artistic individuality,but also in connection with problems that go back to anthropological, worldview, psychological and otherresearch aspects. On this basis, through the enrichment of factual base, it is planned to generalize theirexperience to ensure continuity and inviolability of spiritual priorities and values.
