Score and part Dora Pejačević Elegie Op.34 Romance Op.22
Dora Pejačević was a remarkable Croatian musician who tragically died far too young during childbirth. Although born into nobility, she was socially highly aware and served as a nurse during the Great War. She started out as a romantic composer before starting to experiement with modernism and expressionism in the years before her death. Her music has a refreshing directness as can be found in her Elegie written in 1913. The Romance is an earlier piece, shorter and more romantic period in nature.
