Amicable Variations for flute and piano
Amicable Variations for flute and piano
Ivo Petrič: Amicable Variations for flute and piano was written in 2005.
The available sources do not specify a dedication, but the piece was recorded by the Slovenian flutist Matej Zupan and pianist Andreja Kosmač, who are likely the performers the composer had in mind.
In the early 2000s, Ivo Petrič (b. 1931) was in his seventies and continued to be a highly active and prolific composer, focusing on chamber music and solo works. This piece is part of his later output, which demonstrates a continued search for new sounds and forms while maintaining a strong instrumental balance.
Petrič Ivo
Ivo Petrič (1931) is a prominent Slovenian composer, conductor, and music organizer who has been a vital force in 20th and 21st-century Slovenian music. He is a prolific artist known for his broad compositional range, from early avant-garde experiments to later, more accessible chamber and orchestral works.
Born in Ljubljana, Petrič studied composition at the Ljubljana Academy of Music under the guidance of the renowned Slovenian composer Blaž Arnič.
His early work was associated with the European avant-garde of the 1960s, exploring new sounds and techniques. Later in his career, his music shifted toward a more neo-romantic or post-modern lyrical style, focusing on clarity and expression. He has composed in virtually all genres, from solo instrumental pieces and chamber music to concertos and large-scale orchestral works.
Petrič was a founding member of the influential "Slavko Osterc" Ensemble (named after a Slovenian modernist composer), an organization dedicated to the performance of contemporary music. He also served as the artistic director and manager of the Slovenian Philharmonic Orchestra, playing a crucial role in the country's musical infrastructure.
