Dora Pejačević

About this composer

“Countess Maria Theodora Paulina "Dora" Pejačević (Hungarian: Gróf verőczei Pejácsevich Mária Theodóra Paulina "Dóra"; 10 September 1885 – 5 March 1923) was a Croatian composer, pianist and violinist and one of the first composers to introduce the orchestral song to Croatian music. Her Symphony in F-sharp minor is considered by scholars to be the first modern symphony in Croatian music. Pejačević is noted for her vocal compositions, piano miniatures, and string quartets, which were heavily influenced by the expressionist and modernist trends of the time.”
