Dora Pejačević was a Croatian composer born in 1885 in the Austro-Hungarian Empire who began composing in the early 20th century and worked primarily within the late-Romantic and early 20th-century classical traditions. Her output includes piano, chamber, orchestral and vocal works that blend late-Romantic harmonic language with early modernist and expressionistic tendencies and occasionally draw on regional folk elements, contributing to the development of Croatian art music in the early 20th century.
