...The peak of the event was the performance of a Yugoslav violinist, Iva Miletić, who, at the age of eleven, as a young student in Vienna, has held almost 100 solo concerts in Europe, on the radio and on television. Her technical brilliance accompanied the narrative structures of Eugene Ysaye's Sonata no. 3 for Solo Violin. Sonata for Violin no. 3 in C minor was rendered with intense drama built magnificently between passionate virtuosity and mild reserve. Bravo!...

Iva Miletic, who is performing all over Europe, won the first prize at the Aram Khachaturian International Competition in Armenia, which ranks among the world's greatest competitions, so it was with special interest that we covered the performance of this unique young artist...From the demanding programme, which included various epochs and periods, we can pinpoint the famous Sonata No. 3 in D Minor by J. Brahms, where, in the first movement, the soloist employed the rich palette of violin colours, dynamic ascents and Romantic rapture to emphasize the characteristic music spirit of the author's style and work, whereas the second, slow movement, rendered with subtle musicality and subdued passion, awakened special emotions among listeners...
