Popis: Andrija Torkvat Brlić Jr. (1893–1931) was a doctor and a composer from Slavonski Brod. Coming from the well-known Brlić family, he attended primary school in Brod na Savi and secondary school in Požega and Zagreb. Having given up on the academy of music in Berlin, he followed his father’s footsteps and studied medicine in Vienna and Prague. Having become a doctor, Andrija moved quite often, which was common in the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes in the period after World War I. He worked in Zagreb, Brod na Savi, Petrovac, Belgrade, Nova Gradiška and Brinje. Because of frequent relocations, he could not devote himself to music, but he managed to do so in Nova Gradiška where he organised music events, conducted the Croatian singing society Graničar and composed. Analysis of chosen songs and piano works found in the archive of the Brlić family in Slavonski Brod shows that he was a skilled composer whose style was typical for Romanticism.
