Изучение наследия Добри Христова в историческом аспекте
Studying Dobri Hristov’s legacy historically

Summary/Abstract: Interest in the compositional, choral and conducting experience of Dobri Hristov has persisted throughout the second half of the twentieth century to gather momentum at the turn of this century. The first study dealing with his oeuvre was published by Olga Kamburova in the composer’s lifetime, while the latest and the most relevant by Kristina Yapova came out in the 2010s. Presently, Bulgarian musicology has a number of works devoted to Dobri Hristov’s oeuvre. His legacy was promoted in Russia owing mostly to a monograph by Venelin Krustev published in Russian in 1960. Venelin Krustev was behind and took part in the publication of two prefaced volumes of the theoretical works by the composer, which provided a basis for all contemporary research on Dobri Hristov in Bulgaria. Venelin Krustev’s assumption to the effect that early in his career composer Dobri Hristov encouraged researcher Dobri Hristov, but then again in the following years, when he argued his metric theory, musicologist Dobri Hristov helped artist Dobri Hristov is of vital importance in the light of the problem under consideration about how Dobri Hristov’s views translated in his compositional work. The figure of the energetic organizer, composer and folklorist stands ever higher over the years and his outstanding contribution as a trailblazer for the paths of Bulgarian music into the present, becomes ever more visible.
