Цветелина Славова: „Здравко Манолов”
Tszvetelina Slavova: Zdravko Manolov

Summary/Abstract: The first monograph, dedicated to Zdravko Manolov, brings back to life his presence as a key role figure in our music formation and conscientious, as one of the pillars, which support the Bulgarian music culture as education, creative impulse, theory and conducting interpretation. In it is imprinted the admiration for the Music, from both -teacher and pupil. The musicality reigns over each parameter of the six chapter structure. In the first four chapters, dedicated to his creative inheritance are applied different approaches – cultural, anthropological, stylistic and biographical. Last chapter is A Treasure of Memories. Thus the monograph enriches before all the historical musicology with the chapters The Succession of Manolov’s Clan or The Presence of the Eastern-Orthodox Sacred Music and Proto-Bulgarian Texts in Manolov’s Works. Other chapters are centered around theoretical and analytical problems: The Works of Manolov in the 1960’s or the most important for his body of work Theoretical and Pedagogical Contributions (Chapter 5). As unifying stream throughout all chapters flows the interest in music-analytical solutions of music he taught as well as in his original music; the pedagogical and the interpretational processes – not only how music is done, but also how to inspire a choir of students or colleagues to create music. The precise, objective, taken to heart work of Tszvetelina Slavova leaves us with the feeling of an irreparable lost of composer’s invaluable archive, testifying for the enormous efforts to gather all “crumbs” of knowledge about him and for the first time to be put together a chronology of his creative work and life path.
