"Arshin Mal Alan" is the third and last music comedy of the great Azerbaijan composer Uzeyir Hajibeyov. The story itself was true to life. In the early XX century a wave of sharp criticism arose in Azerbaijan public. It was a criticism directed against prejudices, morals and manners caused by Moslem traditions. Striving for personal freedom and rights of Moslem women became essential subject for various discussions.
