Tomislav Zografski (Macedonian: Томислав Зографски, 29 March 1934 – 14 January 2000) was a Macedonian composer and music pedagogue who also wrote music for film and television.[2][3] His neoclassical language played a key part in the journey of Macedonian music toward the postmodern era.[4] Zografski's musical language was not archetypal of neoclassical folklore-inspired pastiche but instead more the result of him venturing into the examination and development of more exemplar traditional repertoire in a way that was unconventional and compelling and which retained transformed elements from an earlier period.[5]

Zografski was born in Veles, Kingdom of Yugoslavia (now Macedonia) on 29 March 1934. He studied music at Skopje Music School and Belgrade Music School and composition at the Music Academy in Belgrade. In 1967 he became professor at the faculty of music at Ss. Cyril and Methodius University of Skopje.[3]

The song for solo violin, op. 101, was started by Zografski in 1982. It is interesting that in 1982 he started and finished it as a composition for viola (Song for viola Op. 100), and during the following year 1983 he completed the violin composition (Song Op. 101). In the same period 1982/83, he also wrote the Rhapsody, at first for viola and piano (op. 102), then for violin and piano (op. 103).
