Bulgarian Dance for Two Pianos op.4 – Sheet Music
For the composition “Bulgarian Dance” I was inspired by a very common and popular round dance from northern Bulgaria, in asymmetrical 9/8 time (9/8=2+2+2+3/8). The dance is fast and merry, with vigorous leaps. It is danced by men and women. The complex Bulgarian harmonies, embellishments and rhythms are reflected in “Bulgarian Dance”. With this new work, I would like to bring the listeners closer to a part of the diverse and lively folklore of Bulgaria and to popularize the unique music and dances of my Balkan country.
