The Clavier Music of Ivan Spassov
Resignation? - No, oh no, NOT that. Anything but resignation. Our reason strains, persuades itself, 'proves" to itself p reason, they say, is cold - it weighs, estimates and comprehends. Reason? But is man just reason?... They say - Memory is an attribute of reason... memory - it is US... The time has stopped and I - remember - alone - within the immense frozen space...

Ivan Spassov
Blue Morning , Noon and Afternoon Road
My name is Ivan Spassov. A composer. I studied in Sofia and Warsaw with living and deceased masters. In my leisure time I conduct and teach. I like to rest whan I can. Those are the moments when I think over my new pieces... I'm at a good age and in the future (I hope so!) I will do the same things I have done before.

MY LIFE - an Attempt to
Reconstruct a Scattered Mosaic
... My life - it is creation and dreams! There were no pearls, no flasks, no mosaic whatever... I love life! Perhaps it is incredibly superb on the Otherside, but aren't we all striding towards It - some peacefully, some in a hurry. Others are running... I am running as well on the back of the years, gathering the glass pearls of my life's scattered mosaic with no hope that I can arrange it at all. It will remain just the way it is - unfinished...

60 Steps Towards the Temple
From Episodes for Four Groups of Timbre to Bulgarian Passion, Liturgy
and Messe
...I
am tired. I get tired to follow the perfection in art... What kind of
music will I write? Good Lord - let it be beautiful! Recently I tend to
shake myself off all the excess. I am not sure, but perhaps my last composition
would consist of one single note!
Let's hope it will be beautiful!

The Symphonies of Konstantin Iliev
Prof. Ivan Spassov finished this study between his two autobiographical and in fact artistic opuses - the books "Blue morning, noon and afternood road" (1989) and "My life - an attempt to reconstruct a scattered mosaic (1993) where the name of Konstantin Iliev is mentioned many times. At the beginning of 1995 Spassov presents the manuscript to Valentina Ilieva - Konstantin Iliev's wife, to be added to the precious archive of the composer.

Confessions of a Composer
...Peace is the present and the future of mankind. Peace is the mankind itself. People with joined hands, lets keep its fragile innocence.
