 Music is a fate that everyone is given, followed their instinct without hesitation. However, no one would walk a confident step by step to desired success without their big teachers. In The course of preparation for the first international clarinet contest "sava dimitrov" we hope to enrich the story of this instrument in Bulgaria with the personal memories of students and fans of Prof. Sava Dimitrov, Prof. Petko Radev and Prof. Dimitar Dimitrov. We believe that there is something to tell us in texts and photos of clarinetcompetition@savadimitrov.com, which then we publish, adding valuable facts about history.
