Founded in 1982…

Dominis Music was founded with the express purpose of publishing string music. Dominis Music began producing new editions of the works of internationally acclaimed cellist/composer Rudolf Matz in 1982 and progressed to the publication of works for cello and other string and chamber music written by both contemporary and Classical composers.

Our Founder…

Slobodan Gospodnetic’s experience of the pedagogical genius of Matz dates back to his youth in Zagreb, Yugoslavia where Rudolf Matz was his first cello teacher. Over the years, their student-teacher relationship developed into a friendship and professional association. After moving to Canada and beginning his own career as a performer and teacher, Slobodan became aware of the limited distribution of Matz’s valuable work and developed a keen interest in seeing to it that his unique contributions to string pedagogy did not fall into oblivion. It was this interest, together with Matz’s encouragement, which inspired Slobodan to establish Dominis Music.

Dominis Music…

The latest publication, Freedom and Flexibility of the Violinist’s Left Hand, by Borivoj (Boro) Martinić-Jerčić has been praised as an, “…indispensable, innovative and invaluable tool, which will help students and professionals alike understand the intricacies of left-hand motion”. This publication includes a demonstration DVD.
