Azer Guseynovich Rzayev. Born 1930, Baku. Composer. Graduated in 1953 at the Azerbaijan Conservatoire [violin class of Amiton and Bretanitsky, composition class of Zeydman]. From 1953 he taugh at the Azerbaijan Conservatoire, and then from 1967 at the Music School of Byul-Byul. In 1972 became music director of the Azerbaijan opera and ballet national theatre. Piano works include:
“Russia” (1946)
Scherzo (1947)
March for Two Pianos (1948)
Sonatina (1949)
Piano Concerto (1964)
Piano Concertino (publ 1977…..arrangement of Piano concerto] I have posted the Piano Concertino…..from what I can ascertain, this is a simplied arrangement of the Piano Concerto aimed at the younger player and is projected in the same vein as Kabalevsky’s 3rd piano concerto. I can find no differences between the original concerto - I have a copy of the miniature score - and the concertino. My apologies, my copy of the score was slightly damaged and I’ve had to make adjustments as I’ve scanned – however, everything should be there.
This link will take you to Azerbaiajn International and a 3 minute clip of the Piano Concerto:

You know, I think I may have said something along these lines on the last forum, but I think I'll say it again: I'd love to see some Komitas piano pieces other than the dances, if they exist.

Re: Music of the Caucasus [Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia etc.
The Russian's adoration of Bach often led composer's to compose numerous polyphonic styled works and here is a small album of pieces by Azerbaijan composers. As there is no index, the works list is as follows:
Polyphonic Pieces by Azerbaijan Composers
Karayev K – Three Polyphonic pieces
1. Prelude
2. Invention
3. Fughetta on the white keys
Fel’zer O – Polyphonic Suite
1. Fugue
2. Interlude I
3. Fugue-Scherzo
4. Interlude II
5. Gigue
Gadzhiev Dzh – Fugue [4 voices]

These works by various Azerbaijan composers are the last I currently hold [will be uploaded in two parts] – I’ve split them so they can be classified under the appropriate composer’s name. I have added some brief biographical information and their piano works are listed in my “book” in the Information & Literature section.
