Abstract

Simfonija u fis-molu Dore Pejačević pomalo je zaboravljeno, a možemo reći i itekako
zapostavljeno djelo, stoga sam na preporuku mentora, prof. Mladena Tarbuka, odabrao
upravo ovu skladbu kao temu svog diplomskog rada. Uz nekoliko riječi o životu Dore
Pejačević, vremenu u kojem je živjela te ozračju u kojem je skladala – pritom mislim na
situaciju u kojoj se nalazila s obzirom na položaj žena u ono vrijeme – središnji dio teksta
posvećen je analizi skladbe. Analizu Simfonije temeljim prvenstveno na njezinom formalnom
planu, potom tematsko-motivičkom radu te aspektima izvedbe koji su tematizirani u
zaključku. Ovakav pristup djelu me u velikoj mjeri pripremio za rad s orkestrom, s obzirom
da sam Simfoniju u fis-molu izveo na diplomskom koncertu.

Abstract (english)

Symphony in F#-Minor, composed by Dora Pejačević, is somewhat forgotten and
fairly neglected piece. Therefore, I have chosen this piece as the topic of my final
assignment, as recommended by my supervisor, prof. Mladen Tarbuk. The first part of the
text is dedicated to the life of Dora Pejačević, to the time in which she had lived, and to the
circumstances in which she composed her music – by circumstances, I mean gender
inequality of the time – whereas the central part of this text focuses on analysis of the piece.
Primarily, the analysis is grounded in Symphony's formal outline, elaboration upon themes
and motifs, and finally, in aspects of its performance, which are discussed in the conclusion.
Such an approach to the Symphony prepared me well and largely affected my work with the
orchestra, since I have conducted the piece at the final recital.
