Reply to Violinconcerto's question(?) 'I actually found the topic "Yugoslav" a bit weird without a "Yugoslavia" nowadays, but thought you just mean all Croatians, Serbians, Slovenians, B&Hs, Kosovari, Macedonian and Montenegri'.

Jugoslavia = Južna + Slavija = South + Slavia (Slavic land). So, it is -theoretically- a term independent of the homonymous political alliance

Most probably all four of them knew each other as they were living in the center of the at the time small town Zagreb, and were active at the same few venues..

Of all the 2 violin music that falls within the remit of romantic declared by the moderators the Yugoslav I am most unfamiliar with.

Though title "works for 2 violins" linguistically equals two unaccompanied violins, in general it states for all compositions where they're the two soloists.

I'm quite fond of this instrumental formation and, for one, perceive it a beautiful means of compeering student wth teacher, or tightening bonds among members of bourgeois household.

Some old musicians (few violinists, composers) of high social rank and reputation in their respective times, several of which aren't living no more, taught me that the chamber form of the violin duo is by far the most awkward and ungrateful instrumental formation to write for, and so never does a new such composition in the composer's output, regardless of it's ordinal number, happen to be an evolvee of a proof method stage, just a new attempt to master the form.

Anyone have particular interest, knows a work? Join the thread, contribute to the list..

respect unsung composer's dignity, not prey on his defenselessness

Abstract:
Dora Pejacevic (1885-1923) is recognized as an influential figure in the musical history of her native country, Croatia. In addition to composing a number of works for solo piano, voice, and violin, her compositional output includes, among other works, a piano quartet, a piano quintet, a piano concerto, and a symphony. In recent years, within her native Croatia, a renewed interest has developed in the works of Dora Pejacevic. Coupled with this interest is a hope that increased awareness of these compositions might occur beyond the borders of this country. Dora Pejacevic wrote thirty-three art songs, with the first composed at the age of fifteen and the last composed within three years of her death. It is this component of her oeuvre that this document addresses in three ways: by providing the first comprehensive collection of translations, both word-for-word and grammatically-fluent, of the complete song texts; by guiding the reader to current literature and research for any given song; and finally, by introducing new research relevant to the songs. Simultaneously, this document increases the accessibility of these songs to English-speaking readers both through the translations of the song texts, and by summarizing and highlighting information found in foreign-language research pertaining to the composer and her songs. In addition, a brief biography of Dora Pejacevic is followed by a discussion of tangential themes intended to increase awareness of topics often found in the academic discourse concerning the composer. Although a detailed exploration of these themes is beyond the scope of this document, their prominence in research relating to Pejacevic renders a brief exploration of them essential to a thorough introduction of the composer. Finally, to assist readers with further research, an index of Pejacevic's known compositions is provided.

No they're not! It is called extended romanticism, if you didn't know.. a romanticism, but of a different kind, modernised - thus some mistaking it as modernism. It all begun when a late-romantic composer broke trough the time capsule he was captivated by and caught up with the pace of the times. At least that's what may have happened to Dobronić.
