Vjenceslav Sambolicek (1904-1970) was also introduced to the guitar as a very young boy, and later managed to acquire a better instrument thanks to a job he had at an instrument factory, where he received a guitar instead of a salary for work he did there. After the upheavalof World War II, in1949, Sambolicek enrolled in the music School in Virovitica, where he would be teaching the classical guitar for about a decade. He was also attive as a guitar lecturer in various Croatian cities around Virovitica such as Daruvar and Podravska Slatina. Although he was a professional house painter, as an amateur musician Sambolicek composed over 120 different pieces, mostly for one and two guitars, but also for tambour orchestras which he also conducted, and music for one operetta. He wrote down many traditional Slavonic folk melodies, and some of them he published in his music editions. (Uros Dojcinovic: Guitar Compositions from Yugoslavia. Vol.II Croatia, 2003)
