brilliantly synthesized folk music and mugham traditions with
modern musical techniques.
The composer wrote the first Azerbaijani lyrical-psychological
opera on a contemporary theme. In the opera Sevil, the composer
used a variety of musical forms.
Amirov's symphonic mughams Shur and Kurd Ovshari are
unprecedented in the history of world music.
He is the author of numerous operas, ballets, symphonies,
symphonic poems, symphonic mugham, suites, capriccio, piano
concertos, sonatas, musical comedies, and songs, love songs, piano
pieces, music for dramatic productions, and movies.
Fikrat Amirov's heritage, which calls for patriotism, always
instills spiritual richness, and glorifies human ideals, is one of
the brightest pages in the history of Azerbaijani music.
