Gradually the progress in publishing and making Slovene music available for performance was considerable. In 1972 the composer Ivo Petrić was appointed to Secretary of the Society of Slovene Composers (Društvo slovenskih skladateljev, abbreviated to DSS). He was active in increasing the numbers of works published, the large library of orchestral works for hire and later the recording of numerous works. Petrić was a very important model for his colleagues. Not only did he work tirelessly for all the composers of the society, but he also formed the Slavko Osterc Ensemble to perform mostly new Slovene chamber ensemble works and to record them. As a composer he produced many interesting and impressive works. Early symphonies taking some influence from Hindemith and Prokofiev were followed by a period using techniques from the Polish avant-garde. Later he returned to more traditional techniques. His contribution to the development of serious Slovene music has been very important, with DSS now thriving in all its aspects.Založba Univerze na Primorskem in Festival Ljubljana20262026-03-10 12:18:13Delo ni kategorizirano22763sl
