 This style was expressed to its fullest in the completely independent melody (without direct quoting of folk music) and in the harmonic language of his work.The idea of his compositions is clarified through the lyrics of his choral songs and ballads and through the programmatic titles of most of his symphonic works.Staynov's symphonic output includes the suites "Thracian Dances" (1925, 1926) and "A Fairy Tale" (1930), the symphonic poems "A Legend" (1927) and "Thrace" (1937), "Symphonic Scherzo" (1930), the concert overtures "Balkan" and "Youth Overture" (1936 and 1953), two symphonies (1945 and 1949).
