THE VIOLIN CONCERTO AND ITS DEVELOPMENT IN BULGARIA A Monograph Submitted to the Graduate Faculty of the Louisiana State University and Agricultural and Mechanical College in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Musical Arts in The School of Music by Mario Dimitrov B.M., State Academy of Music, Sofia, Bulgaria, June 1999 M. M., Louisiana State University, May 2002 May, 2006 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS My project could not have been possible without the support, knowledge, and encouragement of several people who continue to be my mentors after the completion of me dissertation. The knowledge, dedication, and skills of my violin professor Kevork Mardirossian guided the writing of this project in a very steady and professional manner. His knowledge and skills as a performer of some of these concertos were valuable source and inspiration for me. Thanks to my committee professors Julian Shew, Jerzy Kosmala, and especially Jack May and Dennis Parker for their thoughtful suggestions and interest in my project.
