Josip Ipavec
Josip Ipavec (born December 21, 1873 in Šentjur pri Celju ; † February 8, 1921 ibid) was a Yugoslav composer.
Gustav Ipavec's son played the violin as a child and began composing as a high school student. Like his father and his uncles Benjamin and Alojz Ipavec , all of whom were known as composers, he studied medicine. After working as an Austrian military doctor in Vienna and Zagreb , he took over his father's practice after his death.
Ipavec composed more than forty works, including the first Slovenian ballet Možiček ("jumping jacks ") and songs based on poems by Heinrich Heine , Emanuel Geibel and Nikolaus Lenau . His song for male choir Imel sem ljubi dve (I loved two) became particularly popular . In Zagreb he began composing an operetta based on a libretto by Mara Čop-Marlet . However, it is not known whether he completed it, and nothing is known about the whereabouts of the work.
