24 Sep. 08:10In Moscow, at the intimate music lounge of the A.N. Scriabin Memorial Museum, the premiere of Mamed Guseynov’s piano collection titled "Six Pieces for Children" took place as part of the lead-up program to the 9th International Music Competition “Sounds of the Dutar”.
The cycle features six imaginative compositions: Childhood Echoes, The Wandering Minstrel (Bakshi), A Tale, Magical Dreams, The Scarab Dance, and the nocturne Longing for Home. The printed album is complemented by vivid illustrations created by renowned Turkmen artist Kossekmurad Nurmuradov, a Merited Figure of Art in Turkmenistan.
The introductory essay was written by Turkmen musicologist Yuliya Jumayeva. The premiere performance was given by the talented pianist Maria Buyanova, Grand Prix winner of a previous “Sounds of the Dutar” edition. Her expressive playing and technical finesse brought the compositions to life, resonating deeply with the audience.
The main competition stage of the 9th “Sounds of the Dutar” festival begins in late October, and applications for participation are still open. The festival aims to become a launchpad for emerging talents and support the development of future masters of classical music.

Specialists at the International Science and Technology Park of the Academy of Sciences of Turkmenistan, led by Durdymyrat Gadamov and Altyn Rahmanova, have developed a new-generation bio-agent designed to neutralize soil methane emissions. The solution utilizes local bacteria adapted to the regional climate, which harness methane monooxygenase to convert methane into carbon dioxide and water.
Methane is a major contributor to global warming, with a heat-trapping capacity in the atmosphere significantly higher than that of carbon dioxide. The newly developed bio-agent features high efficiency in industrially congested areas, cost-effectiveness through the use of local raw materials, and complete safety for human health and the environment.
This scientific breakthrough aligns with Turkmenistan's sustainable development strategy, supporting its commitments under the Global Methane Pledge to enhance environmental oversight in the energy sector.
