Before finishing studies at the Academy of Music and Performing Arts, where he was a pupil of Alexander Moyzes and Jan Cikker, he left for Poland to continue studying with Boguslaw Szabelski and Witold Lutostawski at the State Academy of Music (finishing in 1965). He worked in the Czechoslovak Radio in Kosice, later as the programming adviser in the Czechoslovak Television in Bratislava, since 1967 as the programming adviser of the SILK Dance and Music Company. Salva lectured at the Teacher's Training College in Nitra and he was the chairman of the Association of Slovak Composers within the Slovak Music Union. Salva's music bears characteristic features of folk music, especial ly its modal melodies, his compositions employ a free approach to rhythm and meter, stressing the diversity of sound combinations and counterpuntal layers. He wrote major works for instrumental forces, yet his horizontal thinking is more adequately highligh ted in compositions for voice, where his sonoristic endeavours are better accommoda ted. In terms of form, Salva's compositions present a sequence of discreet blocs. His contribution to Slovak music is the imaginative, emotional form of a ballad.
