The musical comedy also features other distinctive characters, such as Suleyman, Asya, Jahan khala, Sultan bey, Telli, and Vali, each with their unique traits. Another innovation in the work is Uzeyir Hajibeyli's creation of a style of national harmony, with the use of polyphonic writing techniques.
