Монографичен труд за австрийския композитор Емануел Алоиз Фьорстер, писан от българин
A Monograph about the Austrian Composer Emanuel Aloys Förster, written by a Bulgarian

Summary/Abstract: This article presents for the first time in Bulgarian musicology a doctoral thesis defended in 1911 by the Bulgarian author Nesho Salchev in Munich, which was devoted to the famous composer of the late eighteenth and the early nineteenth century Emanuel Aloys Förster (1748 – 1823). Thesis supervisor of Salchev was Prof. Dr. Adolf Sandberger (1864 – 1943), a great German musicologist of the late nineteenth and the early twentieth century. Being by now the first and the only monograph devoted to Förster, it is listed among the main sources about the composer, including in major encyclopaedias of music such as The New Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians and Die Musik in Geschichte und Gegenwart. It is perhaps the earliest doctoral thesis in musicology defended by a Bulgarian and indicates a particular Bulgarian contribution to the history of Austrian music, of classical style.
