Savin’s surviving correspondence serves as a source for the composer’s general biography as well as his music activities. At a rough estimate it comprises around 3000 documents; those devoted to music, including drafts, number over 550. This material, in connection to other new discoveries, offers a starting point for a new, updated music biography of Friderik Širca – Risto Savin. It helps chart four periods of Savin’s composing creativity, which are defined differently from the periodization by Dragotin Cvetko.Downloads
