"Qamil Gjyrezi has brought us a valuable contribution in his translation. We are not only interested in the history of Albanian art, but we cannot achieve our mission if we do not have a theoretical literature, which accompanies our knowledge and the research we do in this field. Therefore, we thank once again prof. Gyrezin. At the same time at the table with him is our close associate prof. Edmond Buharaja", said Çapaliku. Prof. Assoc. Dr. Edmond Buharaja thanks to his study, academic, artistic experience and publications in the field of music brought many examples related to the book and his great experience in the field of music studies and creativity. As co-author and translator, Qamil Gjyrezi states that "Introduction to cognitive musicology" by Niels Trusbak Haumann is a work of scientific value in this contemporary sub-discipline with a promising future. “Niels Trusbak Haumann PHD, (Post-doc) is a technical researcher at Aarhus University and Aarhus University Hospital in Denmark. The author brings to his study, research during experience, in terms of scientific research, as well as academic studies over the years, in the genres: musicology, psychology, neurology, informatics. Scientific research methods take on a special importance in this study. Cognitive musicology is a contemporary sub-discipline of musicology that suggests drawing disciplines outside of traditional musicology to study and explain musical phenomena", says Gjyrezi.

He published in 2007 the book "Art therapy", in 2008 "Think positive" and in 2012 "Terapia della musica come interpretation della mente umana e cura" by EAI, Edizioni accademiche Italiane'.

According to Professor Gjyrezi, scientific research methods have a special importance in this work with scientific values. "I worked on the book's introduction and explanations, scientific terminology. The author has given me the right to publish this book published in DMO. This book is the beginning of the study in this scientific sub-discipline that helps traditional musicology a lot, to come up with scientific conclusions and it has lasted 4 years", says Gjyrezi.
