Abstract
Muzafarov Mansur Akhmetovich (03.06.19011 – 11.21.1966) was a composer, teacher, Honored Artist of the TASSR (1950) and People's Artist of the TASSR (1964). He was the first Tatar composer with a higher specialized education. He began his creative activity as a member of national instrumental ensembles. In 1931, he graduated from the Ethnographic Department of the Moscow Conservatory. In 1938-1939, he studied at the Tatar Opera Studio of the Moscow Conservatory. From 1945, he taught at the Kazan Conservatory (in 1949-1961 he was the head of the Composition Department). Over the years, he conducted creative work on the radio and in the Tatar Opera and Ballet Theatre.
Muzafarov’s legacy as a composer is extensive: from arrangement of folk tunes, original songs, romance songs to large-scale works in the genres of opera, symphonic poem and instrumental concert.
The name of Mansur Muzafarov is associated with the Children's Music School No. 18, located in the Kirovsky district of Kazan. This school hosts the Republican Competition “Mozaffarov kichlәre” (“Muzaffar Evenings”).
A memorial plaque to the composer was installed in Kazan at 5 Nikolaev Street.
