I can only think when listening to this on the deceptive excellence of splendid high society receptions that she had so mercilessly been opening fire on in her correspondence. It is successful if the intention was to pass on the feeling of that vain atmosphere..

Competition "Bistrički ZVUKOLIK"

Ana Lisičak (b. 1995), piano

Dora Pejačević : Impromptu op.32

Pejacevic : Nocturne For Orchestra

Pejačević composed two nocturnes for piano, Zwei Nocturnos op.50 No.1 & No.2, and wrote verses as a small poetic programme (describing the atmosphere in which both pieces were conceived).

Nocturne Op.50 No.1 was composed in Janowitz, Bohemia (near border with Germany), on 20-21st July 1918, and carries a dedication to her friend, pianist Alice Ripper (1889-1961).

Dunkel ruht des Teiches Tiefe
im Mond erzittert die Fläche leis,
die Tannen rauschen, die Weide neigt sich –
herbstlich berührt, schweigt still das Herz


Did she orchestrate this, I wonder? There were other Croatian composers -at the time, and later- of masterful instrumentating abilities that secretly admired her work, almost like personality cult..

Mine's too. I ordered it from Yoko direct. Ah, the excitement, mounting indeed..!

I, heavily affected in childhood via grandparents by Austrian-north-Italian-west-German originating bourgeois spirit, am fond of this work. It really suits my high-style taste

Heavenly music and a great performance. The noisy audience didn't realize how fortunate they've been..

Trio Rupnik plays Benjamin Ipavec's "Annen quadrille"

2. Eté
3. Poule
4. Trenis
5. Pastourelle
6. Finale

Manca Rupnik, violin
Nejc Rupnik, violoncello
Anže Rupnik, piano

For me (and my father even more) it's an awesome masterpiece; best features of contemporary serious music 'cooked up' into the apex composition. For most, however, it's plain trash, screwing with the instruments, fruit of a perverted bourgeois mind, reflection of receding sanity..

I do apologize though if using a composer outside the forum's remit as example in this particular thread has become illegal in meantime.

The original in German language is now lost. During the composer's lifetime up until today in Croatia it has been performed in Croatian language. As Zaytz was a native Italian speaker, that is it was his maternal tongue he had learned in the streets of his native town Fiume (whereas German language he had been learning in school by formal obligation), he decided to publish a Croatian-Italian edition of the opera in question, with assistance of Gian Paolo di Carminati.

The actress looks -to me- more like Dora Pejačević's sister Gabriella Pejacsevich than the composer herself.
