A comprehensive visual survey of Central Asia undertaken after imperial Russia assumed control of the region in the 1860s. Commissioned by General Konstantin Petrovich von Kaufman (1818–82), the first governor-general of Russian Turkestan.
Musical instruments from Central Asia include the dombra, a long-necked lute with a distinctive twangy sound; the komuz, a three-stringed lute made from wood; and the rubab, a plucked string instrument with a deep, resonant sound. Other instruments from the region include the chang, a type of harp; the daf, a large frame drum; and the surnai, a type of oboe. Central Asian music often features intricate rhythms and melodies, and many traditional songs are accompanied by dance.
