Веселин Стоянов през погледа на негови ученици
Vesselin Stojanov in the Memories of his Students

Summary/Abstract: Jule Levi: For me he has remained the classic, the professional idol, the teacher who taught us dedication and creative integrity, who always had time for his students. And without giving us ready solutions, he always managed to receive the right answer from us. He was an encyclopedic personality, not only erudite or well informed, a thoroughly knowledgeable man in various fields of science. And at the same time his European spirit or his musical vigour, if you wish imposed itself in every note he wrote. Ivan Marinov: When he built up a form, for him like for any composer, the main problem was the grading in the inner harmonious and polyphonic suspense. But his composition style quite early showed characteristic features such as instead of the traditional relation T-D, he used Lydian scale (with high IV degree), on which the most distant possible chords are built, creating a very specific and melodic order. Mihail Pekov: He was one of those persons, who was able to be silent in 3 languages. It was very difficult to make him speak - at least it was very difficult for me. But I remember him once telling me (without having been asked) how when he was a student at the Vienna Higher School of Music, he was one of the two pianists, who alternated in the preparation for the performance of “Pierrot Lunaire” by Arnold Schonberg. Victor Chuchkov: On the eve of Vesselin Stojanov’s centennial anniversary we awake to remember and to show some of his works which have not lost its value and significance despite the passing of time. It is the recognition that the generations owe to the composer, pianist and pedagogue Vesselin Stojanov.
