Pavel Šivic
Illustration — Pavel Šivic Pavel Šivic (born February 2, 1908, in Radovljica, Slovenia — died May 31, 1995, in Ljubljana) was a Slovenian composer, concert pianist, and music educator. He is primarily known for his stage works, which include the music for five operas, an operetta, and a ballet; all of which premiered at the Ljubljana Opera House. His 1974 opera Cortesova vrnitev (The Return of Cortes), is widely regarded as the finest achievement in the genre by a Slovenian composer and in Slovenian. Šivic wrote the libretto to this opera himself, which is based on the 1967 play of the same name by Andrej Hieng. Šivic also composed a twelve-tone suite, several cantatas, choral works, vocal art songs, solo instrument pieces for a variety of instruments including many for the piano, and multiple film scores. Šivic graduated from the Ljubljana Conservatory in 1931 where he was a pupil of Janko Ravnik (piano) and Slavko Osterc (composition).
