The musical gifts of internationally acclaimed piano virtuoso Tzvetan Konstantinov showed themselves early. He began his piano studies at the age of five, when he was found to be endowed with absolute pitch and gave his first recital at the age of nine. At the age of eighteen he performed publicly the complete Bach's Well Tempered Clavier from memory. After winning two of the most prestigious competitions in Bulgaria he toured extensively throughout his native country. Among his many mentors and teachers he had and studied with were some of the greatest pianists of all times: SVIATOSLAV RICHTER, ARTURO BENEDETTI MICHELANGELI, RUDOLF KEHRER, SHURA CHERKASSKY, ALEXIS WEISSENBERG, BELLA DAVIDOVICH, TATIANA NIKOLAEVA, GRIGORY KOGAN, EUGENE MALININ and GRANT JOHANNESEN.

Description: Tzvetan Konstantinov
Mr. Konstantinov mastered his piano playing under one of the most beloved and valued concert pianists and pedagogues in Bulgaria, VELICHKA (WELLA) SAVOVA. SAVOVA as with the case of HEINRICH NEUHAUS (the teacher of SVIATOSLAV RICHTER) was taught by the legendary LEOPOLD GODOWSKY the principle of weight release (frei Gewichtkeit), rather than muscular impetus, as the most efficient method of playing. (Ms. SAVOVA was also a student and assistant of LEONID KREUTZER and GOTTFRIED GALSTON at The Academy of Music in Berlin, Germany).
