A Comparative-Typological Study of the Cultural and Aesthetic Values of Music in English and Uzbek Contexts

Abstract

Through emotional expression, historical memory, and identity building, music serves as a deep cultural artifact connecting many civilizations. Using a comparative-typological method, this paper investigates the cultural and aesthetic aspects of music in English and Uzbek settings. The study emphasizes important parallels and distinctions by means of historical development, musical structures, transmission techniques, and modern changes. Results show that although music globally preserves legacy and elicits emotional reactions, English and Uzbek musical practices vary greatly in aesthetic frameworks, instruments, and routes of cultural transmission.
