Dimitrije Bužarovski's compositions are indefinite treasure for musicological research due to his declared attitude and use of multistylistic and multigenre approach. Searching for originality in the idiom fusion and upgrade, especially through the use of the popular genres - folk, popular music and jazz, during the last several decades, his compositions are already an example of the compositional techniques of neoromantical national schools, achieving universal global acceptance. Thus, they communicate equally successful in the local and in the wider international environment. The cycle of nocturnes for piano (the original title Večerinki) are one the most often performed compositions by Bužarovski. They are a typical example of the transcendence of classical into modern, popular into elite, simple into multilayered, and elementary into virtuosical.
