Ти помниш ли живия Иван Спасов
Do you remember the living Ivan Spassov

Summary/Abstract: The self-improvement and self-protecting of the composer Ivan Spassov’s figure are the main topics of this conversation, broaching the typical of him approach to treating traditional folk material in an avant-garde compositional environment; the complex ties between musical texts and paratexts; the tension between compositional technologies and the humane dimension to his work; composer’s relationship with main figures of New Music in Bulgaria and his conscious social mission as a teacher and conductor. The dialogue presents both a view of Ivan Spassov and self-revealing of the individualities of the two conversing composers (belonging to different generations) in a post-compositional to a large extent situation, socially and aesthetically.
