About this exposition

Name: Konstantyn Napolov Main Subject: Classical Percussion Research Coaches: Paul Scheepers Title of Research: Prof. Dr. Dobri Paliev: traditions and innovations Research Question: Who is Prof. Dr. Dobri Paliev? Germany, France, Luxembourg, USSR, China - is this the complete list of countries which were influenced by Dobri Paliev’s exploring of percussion instruments? What exactly where his innovations? What do we know, and what materials can we find, about one of the most important percussion ensembles - “Polyrhythmia” which was founded and led by Dobri Paliev? Who are the contemporaries that inherited the legacy of Paliev’s, to which he devoted his entire life? Summary of Results: My interest in the personality of Prof. Dr. Dobri Paliev had been growing since my first rhythmic lessons at the music school in Odessa, Ukraine. I was 6 years old at the time. My teacher presented to me one of Paliev’s early works on a folk theme, and I was completely fascinated by rhythmic patterns, time signatures, changing of colours and simply beauty of the dance melodies. That was truly an unforgettable experience. That is why during my Master program at the Kiev National Music Academy in 2009 I decided to focus my entire energy on one of the most important figures when it comes to percussion instruments development and, generally, music in the 20th - 21st century. However, less than two years ago, when I was choosing the topic for my master research at the Royal Conservatory of The Hague, it became clear to me that I had not finished exploring the legacy which was created by Prof. Dr. Dobri Paliev and his followers. Therefore I started to research more about his private live, him as a composer, his performing activities. I was captivated by different qualities of this great personality. With this research I aim to provide answers based on unique facts, stories, video, audio, photo materials, live interviews and analysis of the famous works written by Dobri Paliev for his percussion ensemble “Polyrhythmia” and other world famous ensembles and systematic courses. Biography: Konstantyn Napolov (1987) received his Bachelor (cum laude) from the Royal Conservatoire in 2013. With his Percussion -Trio 'Davai Perkusion' Konstantyn he won the first prize during the Grachtenfestival Concours at Royal Concertgebouw Amsterdam. Twice he ended up as a finalist of the Kamermuziek Concours Almere, IPC Luxembourg, and won the first prize at 'Oh,Oh Intro' – popfestival The Hague. During his first year of Master he was accepted to do his Erasmus-study at the conservatory with the oldest percussion traditions – Cité de la Musique et de la Danse Conservatoire de Strasbourg with Emmanuel Séjourné. Together with Steve Reich, Kaija Saariaho, Martijn Padding, Unsuk Chin, John Luther Adams, Philippe Manoury (in person) he is working on solo and chamber music repertoire. Since 2014 Konstantyn Napolov is Haupt-Pauker (principal-percussionist) at Mannheimer Philharmoniker (Germany).
