Hi Ilu and Tony

Actually the symphonic variations is by a different Mamedov - you want Ibrahim Mamedov. Born 1928. Graduated 1954 from the Azerbaijan Conservatoire, where he studied with Zeidman. He taught at the conservatoire from 1960.
Works:
Symphony No. 1 "Heroic" (1954)
Symphony No. 2 (1973)
Solemn Overture for orchestra (1966)
Ballet Suite (1958)
Quintet
Preludes for piano
Overture for two pianos
cantatas
songs

The variations are for violin and orchestra (composed 1952) and the only recording was on the Melodiya label [D 02392/3] with A. Aliev as the soloist, with the Azerbaijan Symphony Orchestra conducted by Niyazi.
