Angelina Petrova’s book corresponds to the most up-to-date and topical studies on solfeggio worldwide, without breaking the relation with the traditional teaching practices in Bulgaria. The categories of musical understanding, hearing, aural training, consciousness, the latest scientific approaches used in the creation of the so-called neural network structures and neural maps, the terminological and structural study of musical memory, of the so-called ‘auditions’, as well as ‘F0 listeners’ or ‘spectral listeners’ present solfeggio in a completely different light, keeping nonetheless its substance in the strict music educational practices. In Chapter 1, Philosophic and Musical Hermeneutics and Ear for Music the author comments on the postmodern philosophy and its interpretations of musical hearing, drawing on the modern and postmodern theories of Theodor Adorno, Hans-Georg Gadamer, and later also of Gille Deleuze and Félix Guattari, making the important distinction in German language between ear for music and musical hearing, which in the Russian and Bulgarian traditions are fused into the former term, ear for music. In Chapter 2, Ear for Music in the Light of Contemporary Cognitive Psychology solfeggio is studied through cognitive psychology, shaping of musical perception and of musical notions in accordance with the cognitive and neuropsychological studies. Chapter 3 deals with musical memory, broaching the paramount views of cognitive psychology of musical memory: its definition, types, assumptions about its dynamic structure, the issues of the long-term musical memory and the correlation between it and melodic dictation. Chapter 4, Tonal Syntax and Ear for Music interprets melodic dictation, basic theoretical notions in music aural analysis, an analytical aural method in dictation are considered, with the study focusing here on its practical part: 1-, 2-, 3- and 4-part dictation. The section dealing the specifics of the dictations by ‘parameters’ in some systems of West-European methods is especially valuable. Chapter 5 explores the models of the post-tonal ear for music and melodic dictation in post-tonal music. The chosen thematic line evinces the author’s innovative methodology drawing on various modern views and models, e.g. Pierre Boulez, Utz and Kleinrath, including also postmodern composers in the process of solfeggio training such as Stockhausen, Ligeti, Lachenmann, Ferneyhough.

Since September 2015, a permanent seminar has been conducted at the Institute of Art Studies by the Musical Culture and Information research group. They make every effort the seminar’s editions to be attended by as many active participants as possible. Various topics are proposed every time by different members of the research group, who then open the discussions with keynote papers. Bulgarian Musicology journal would publish some of the papers as well as statements and communications made during the seminar. The topic of the first session, Short forms in music: aesthetics, history, modern times, was introduced by Assoc. Prof. Dr Rossitsa Draganova, who made a statement on Short forms in music and the other arts. Asst. Prof. Dr Mihail Lukanov and Asst. Prof. Dr Diana Danova-Damianova joined in, delivering papers on Short forms in music and Bulgarian schlager of the 1930s and Short forms in music in the programmes of ppIANISSIMO International Festival of Contemporary Piano Music respectively. Nadia Sotirova, director of Pancho Vladigerov’s museum, Sofia and Svetlana Avdala, a full-time doctoral student, Department of Music, presented the realised project Microcosm, performance of 60 one- minute pieces. Assoc. Prof. Dr Lubomir Kavaldjiev, founder of the research group, Prof. Elisaveta Valchinova- Chendova, DSc and Prof. Dr Rumyana Karakostova joined the discussion. The second session held in October dealt with the so-called free forms in music and particularly, with the free forms in the sixteenth-century lute repertory. Assoc. Prof. Dr Yavor Genov delivered a keynote paper on the topic. He believes that these forms have later generated a number of vital trends in instrumental thinking. Colleagues invited especially to take part in the seminar, Prof. Yavor Konov, DSc from NBU and Assoc. Prof. Dr Ivanka Vlaeva from SWU, an associate member of Department of Music, joined the discussion. The third session held in November was devoted to the nineteenth- and the twentieth-century song forms in music and to research aspects and issues related to them. A keynote paper on the specifics of some forms of the twentieth-century popular music (strophic, verse/ chorus, 32-bar and blues forms) was delivered by Asst. Prof. Dr Mihail Lukanov. Talking and arguing about these untraditional and at the same time topical issues, never broached for now in a special or a long-term study by any of the members of the Musical Culture and Information research group, proved to be intriguing and fruitful. There was a general sense of innovativeness, of refreshment of notions, generating resources of new approaches. New areas for discussion were established and formulated for the forthcoming editions of the seminar.

The current study focuses on the Italian presence and influence on the Bulgarian literature in the period from the National Liberation to the end of the World War I. It aims at extending and enriching the existing knowledge about the problem. The fixed period of 40 years is intriguing and tempting to be studied, as it is clearly indicative of the tendencies in the Bulgarian cultural environment.
