Sample Pieces by Bulgarian Composers for VIVAPIANO 2014

Separate cash prizes will be awarded at the 2014 VIVAPIANO Competition for the best performance during the competition round of a piece by each of the following third-generation Bulgarian composers: Lazar Nikolov, Alexander Raichev, Konstantin Iliev, Georgi Tutev, Dimiter Christoff, Vassil Kazandjiev, Ivan Spassov, Blago Simeonov. In addition, including a piece by one of these composers in your competition program gives you the right to compete for the VIVAPIANO GRAND PRIZE.

 

On the composer prize webpages you will find links to recordings of some of the sample pieces listed below. While published editions of these pieces are in stock at the bookstore of the Union of Bulgarian Composers in Sofia, not all of the titles are listed on their website and they do not offer a mail-order service. We encourage you to contact us directly here or at ardenza@abv.bg or by phone at +359 887 74 34 91 (Daniela Dikova) so we can help you with choosing pieces and getting the sheet music to you.
