| Added by magataganm, 27 Apr 2020 Ion Ivanovici [Jovan Ivanović, Iosif Ivanovici, Josef Ivanovich] (1845 – 1902) was a Romanian military band leader and composer of Banat Serbian origin, best remembered today for his waltz Waves of the Danube. He was born in Timișoara, Austrian Empire. His interest in music began after he learned to play a flute given to him when he was a child. Ivanovici moved to and lived most of his life in Kingdom of Romania, Galați. Reaching the rank of officer in the Romanian army, his interest in military music culminates during his appointment as general inspector of military songs in 1900. In 1901 he settled in Bucharest where he passed away a year later. Although today Ivanovici is chiefly remembered for his waltz "Waves of the Danube" ("Donauwellen" in German, "Flots du Danube", in French), in his lifetime he composed over 300 works (many of them lost today). Other notable compositions are "Carmen Sylva" waltz, dedicated to Queen Elisabeth of Romania; "Romanian heart" waltz op 51 ("Inimă română" in Romanian , "Cordialité roumaine" in French). His works were published by over sixty publishing houses throughout the world. In 1889, Ivanovici won the coveted march prize to mark the World Exhibition in Paris, out of 116 entries. While some may dispute his nationality today, he is by all historical standards a Romanian composer. His great-grandson Andrei Ivanovitch is a successful international classical pianist. "Waves of the Danube" was first published in Bucharest in 1880. It was dedicated to Emma Gebauer, the wife of music publisher Constantin Gebauer. Composer Émile Waldteufel made an orchestration of the piece in 1886, which was performed for the first time at the 1889 Paris Exposition, and took the audience by storm. It won the march prize to mark the exhibition out of 116 entries. Ivanovici's "Danube Waves" was published in the United States in 1896 and republished in 1903 by the Theodore Lohr Company in an arrangement for piano by Simon Adler. The published version was called "Waves of the Danube." The composition is also known as "Danube Waves Waltz." Source: Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ion_Ivanovici). Although originally composed for Piano, I created this Interpretation of the "Donauwellen" (Waves of the Danube) for Flute, Oboe & Strings (2 Violins, Viola & Cello).
