Композиторът Никола Атанасов (1886 - 1969) в културно-историческата памет на негови съвременници и ученици
The Composer Nikola Atanasov (1886 – 1969) in the Cultural and Historical Memory of his Contemporaries and Students

Summary/Abstract: Based on the only biographical study of the composer Nikola Atanasov, written by Petar Ljondev more than six decades ago, the article traces the fate of his creative heritage, as well as the assessments of his historical place in the chronicles of the new Bulgarian musical culture. In parallel with this the paper includes unknown evidence of the early creative formation of the composer, supplementing and clarifying with facts and circumstances the first performance of his diploma work – Symphony in g moll. The pedagogical activity of Nikola Atanasov, which has not been the subject of a special study so far, is illuminated through the memories of his students and contemporaries. Emphasis is also placed on some creative initiatives in the contemporary music life that keep alive the memory of his work and a new research reading that “breaks” stereotypes in the interpretation of his creative legacy in order to preserve it in the historical memory of the generations.
