Did he do all of central Asia? My favorite composer

I recognize the folk song in the second movement. there used to be a black and white video of people singing that folk song on youtube but it kinda disappeared

[@johnpauliii8868]

the video was titled something like "Turkmenistan folk song Gyzlar" but gyzlar just means girls, and it was being sung by girls, so I dont know if that is the title or not.

Thanks for the info! The second movement of Sergey Vasilenko‘s Quartet on Turkmenian Themes uses this melody as well:
