- Composer: Dora Pejačević (10 September 1885 -- 5 March 1923)
- Performer: Keiko Nishizu
- Year of recording: 2013
Zwei Klavierskizzen/Dvije skice za glasovir/Two Piano Sketches Op. 44 No. 1:
An Dich! / Tebi! / To You!{To Thee}, written in 1918.
According to the list of works compiled by Olga Schulz-Granitz (Croatian Music Institute) these were dedicated to Anny von Lange, although there is no dedication in the manuscript. In them, Dora Pejačević speaks with a new language, enriched by the lines of development in music from the beginning of the 20th century. They lead us to her most mature opuses, to the songs composed to texts by Friedrich Nietzsche, op. 53 (1920), and the 2nd String Quartet, op. 58 – the last work that she composed. The two sketches are intimate meditations in which the composer is immersed in thinking about a person of whom she is very fond, describing in music the most profound emotional states, but relinquishing anything merely attractive and external. The first sketch has the title An Dich! (To Thee!), and the second Vor deinem Bild (Before Thy Picture). In a very true sense, they constitute intimate diary accounts.
