He studied at the Sofia Conservatoire, then went to Paris (1949) and attended the École Normale de Musique (1949–51). He composed chamber music and a sonata for piano (1959–60). His Musique à trois played in the Domaine Musical led him to work with Berio and Maderna (Milan), and he produced an opera Le nom d'Oedipe by Hélène Cixous (1978). A music critic, he was interested in serial and aleatoric music, and published an edition of Stravinsky (1987), and texts on Schumann (1956), Chopin (1962), and Beethoven (1963). |
