Ion Ivanovici

Ion Ivanovici

Ion Ivanovici (alternatively, Iosif Ivanovici, Josef Ivanovici, baptised as Jovan Ivanović) (born 1845 in Timişoara, died September 28, 1902 in Bucharest) was a Romanian military band leader and composer, remembered today for his waltz "The Waves of the Danube". His interest in music began after he learned to play a flute given to him when he was a child. Later, he enrolled in the 6th Army Regiment, where he also learned to play the clarinet. His talent for music soon led him to become among the best musicians in the regiment, and he continued to study with Emil Lehr, one of the most prominent musicians of the latter half of the nineteenth century. Ivanovici later became a bandmaster, and toured Romania. In 1900, he was appointed Inspector of Military Music, a position that he held until his death.

Although today Ivanovici is chiefly remembered for his waltz "The Waves of the Danube", he in his lifetime composed over 350 dances, and his works were published by over sixty publishing houses throughout the world.cite web |url=http://www.johann-strauss.org.uk/composers/index.php3?content=ivanovici |title=Johann Strauss Society: Iosef Ivanovici |accessdate=2008-09-30 |publisher=Johann Strauss Society] In 1889, Ivanovici won the coveted march prize to mark the World Exhibition in Paris, out of 116 entries.
