Vol. 3, No. 5-1, 2015, pp. 1-13. doi: 10.11648/j.ijla.s.2015030501.11 Abstract: Pancho Vladigerov (1899-1978) is one of the most prominent Bulgarian composers. He has created 70 opuses of works with high aesthetic value and in a very extended range of genres. His works are performed all over the world, and every Bulgarian pianist has experienced his piano opuses. In the present study, I reveal the psychological prerequisites for his creative personality in the following order: typological characterization - evidence to classify the composer in a certain type, derived from his everyday life, from his performer's and pedagogical work and backed up by statements of his relatives, students and critics - the influence of the stated typological characterization on his artistic handwriting.

Music written by Bulgarian composers has significantly influenced me over the period of my formal education.
