Maiden Tower in Music ![]() Scene from Maiden Tower from
the revision made to Badalbeyli's ballet. The new version of
the ballet rids the plot of ideological propaganda. This time,
there is no father-daughter incestual relationship. The plot
is simply: A khan sees a beautiful girl, Gulyanag, in one of
the villages that is under his authority. He wants to marry her,
but she already has a fiancé, Polad. When the khan tries
to force her to marry him, Gulyanag asks him to build a tower,
hoping to gain some time. He does so. _____ |
