Andrej Bielow, violin
Oliver Triendl, piano
00:00 I. Allegro con fuoco
06:14 II. Adagio
11:53 III. Allegro molto vivace
Dora Pejačević (1885-1923) was a Croatian composer, considered one of the founders of modern Croatian classical music. You can find much more about Pejačević's short yet colorful life on my blog: unknowncomposers.org/2019/05/18/dora-pejacevic-the-matriarch-of-croatian-composers
The "Slavic" or "Slavonic" sonata, written in 1917 and dedicated to violinist Zlatko Baloković, is one of Pejačević's finest works, one that I believe belongs in the violin standard repertoire. The intense writing for both instruments, unexpected harmonic shifts, and rhythmic groove of the final movement are hard to resist!
